Plot live data on QtChart

[jsulm]

@rockon209 In the example they implement a device:

m_device = new XYSeriesIODevice(m_series, this);
m_device->open(QIODevice::WriteOnly);

m_audioInput->start(m_device);

XYSeriesIODevice is a QIODevice which is writing incoming char* data to the chart. The data is coming from m_audioInput.
In your case you do not need to implement a device: just use a QTimer to read your sensor each second and write the data to the chart in a similar way as in the example.

@jsulm
ok thanks for the explanation
but it is confusing because in XYSeriesIODevice class have m_series as XYseries and widget class has m_series as Qlineseries
and tried your above suggestion i am getting the following error
error: invalid types 'double[int]' for array subscript
points.append(QPointF(k + size, ((quint8)tempSensor[resolution * k] - 128)/128.0));

@rockon209 said in Plot live data on QtChart:

QPointF

Can you show the whole method?

[rockon209]

@jsulm
with timer i call the following function every second
void test:: readTemp()
{
double tempSensor= readSignal Sensor(tempChannel);
writeData();
}
void test::writeData()
{
qint64 range = 2000;
QVector<QPointF> oldPoints = m_series->pointsVector();
QVector<QPointF> points;
int resolution = 4;
qint64 maxSize;

if (oldPoints.count() < range) {
    points = m_series->pointsVector();
} else {
    for (int i = maxSize/resolution; i < oldPoints.count(); i++)
        points.append(QPointF(i - maxSize/resolution, oldPoints.at(i).y()));
}

qint64 size = points.count();

for (int k = 0; k < maxSize/resolution; k++)
    points.append(QPointF(k + size, ((quint8)tempSensor[resolution * k] - 128)/128.0));

m_series->replace(points);

//return maxSize;
}

@rockon209 said in Plot live data on QtChart:

double tempSensor= readSignal Sensor(tempChannel);

this is not going to work - you store the temperature in a local variable!

Also, this is wrong if tempSensor isn't an array:

points.append(QPointF(k + size, ((quint8)tempSensor[resolution * k] - 128)/128.0));

As I said you need to adjust the code for your needs...

@jsulm
then how to make array as i am reading from the sensor every second and getting only one value.

[jsulm]

@rockon209 You don't need any array:

void test:: readTemp()
{
writeData( readSignal Sensor(tempChannel));
}

void test::writeData(const double tempSensor)
{
qint64 range = 2000;
QVector<QPointF> oldPoints = m_series->pointsVector();
QVector<QPointF> points;
int resolution = 4;
qint64 maxSize;

if (oldPoints.count() < range) {
    points = m_series->pointsVector();
} else {
    for (int i = maxSize/resolution; i < oldPoints.count(); i++)
        points.append(QPointF(i - maxSize/resolution, oldPoints.at(i).y()));
}

qint64 size = points.count();
points.append(QPointF(k + size, ((quint8)tempSensor - 128)/128.0));
m_series->replace(points);
}

@jsulm
i am getting following error and the application is shutting down
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): std::bad_alloc

[jsulm]

@rockon209 Please debug you app to see where it crashes...

[rockon209]

@jsulm
when i read the sensor data it crashes

[jsulm]

@rockon209 Then find out why and fix it...

[rockon209]

@jsulm
do you know how maxSize value is calculated because i my code maxsize value is very very very big and in think that is the problem

[jsulm]

@rockon209 In the code in the example it is passed as parameter:

qint64 XYSeriesIODevice::writeData(const char * data, qint64 maxSize)

In your code you don't assign anything to it so it has arbitrary value.
