Current status
Paused development for now, will restart once I find better ways of managing and distributing general-purpose embedded libraries. However, library is functional good stability & test coverage.
Telemetry
enables easy communication and data visualization between a computer and any embedded platform, likeARM Mbed
orArduino
.
Specifically,Telemetry
is a communication protocol, implemented in C language.
Data is exchanged on named channels, calledtopics (ex :foo
,bar
andqux
on the figure above).
Sending data is calledpublishing.
Telemetry TM;int32_t i =123;TM.pub_i32("foo", i);
For receiving data,Telemetry
lets you attach variables and functions to topics.When fresh data is received under a topic, attached variables will be updated and attached functions will be called.
Telemetry TM;float thr;TM.attach_f32_to("throttle", &thr);for(;;) { TM.update();}
Telemetry is written to be portable and general-purpose, and the core code is not tied to any hardware.
Wrappers for specific platforms are written to provide a plug-and-play manner to use Telemetry:
- Arduino wrapper
- Mbed wrapper (Available also onMbed repository )
- Yotta (package manager) - in process
As soon as a device publishes data, it is possible to leverage the power ofthePytelemetry Command Line Interface.
This terminal application lets you interact with the device, using simple commands.
Opening a live plot is as simple as
:> plot someTopic
