Solved GUI for sensor network?
-
Hello guys ,I'm new to Qt, I'm working on a project with wireless sensors network, I'm thinking to develop a desktop application in Qt to monitor the sensor data and visual the data is that possible with Qt? Can anyone one give me initial guidelines how to proceed? What sort of libraries do I need?

Hi
Yes its very possible in Qt.I assume sensor interface is TCP?
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qnetworkaccessmanager.html
That can read from the sensors.For plotting
I would suggest CustomPlot
http://www.qcustomplot.com/index.php/introduction
Very easy to get up and running.
There is also
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtcharts-index.html
and
https://sourceforge.net/projects/qwt/What platform ?
Windows? -
@mrjj Thank you Mrji. I appreciate your valuable answer yes I am are using windows platform

Np.
Do the sensors have a protocol or something ?
How does it send data? -
@mrjj its 6Lowpan http://www.linear.com/products/smartmesh_ip
we are looking for having desktop application as well as web application -
@marias
Ok, reading a little , it seems they have full protocol and SDK.
So most likely your Monitor app should use that in order to talk directly to
motes.
I would ask them directly if Data via pure TCP is possible or what they would suggest
for a custom Monitor app.
