LC Calibration GUI
Live plotting GUI for LC (Load Cell) calibration data from the LC_Calibration firmware.
Receives DAQv2-Comms SENSOR_DATA packets over UDP from LC_Calibration firmware, decodes them, and displays real-time voltage plots for each LC connector (1, 2, 3, 6, 7).
Requirements
Install the required Python packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt
On macOS, if you encounter segfaults with PyQt6, the requirements file will automatically use PyQt5 instead.
Usage
- Upload the LC_Calibration firmware to your ESP32-S3 board
- Connect the board to your computer via Ethernet (same network)
- Ensure the firmware's receiverIP matches your computer's IP address (default: 192.168.2.20)
- Run the GUI:
python lc_calibration_gui.py [-p 5006] [-a 0.0.0.0]
Options:
- -p, --port: UDP port to listen on (default: 5006)
- -a, --address: Bind address (default: 0.0.0.0)
- The GUI will automatically start listening for UDP packets and display real-time voltage plots
Features
- Real-time plotting: Live voltage plots for LC connectors 1, 2, 3, 6, 7
- Individual channel control: Toggle visibility of each connector
- Statistics: Current voltage readings and packet rate
- Export to CSV: Save collected data for analysis
- Autoscale: Automatically adjust Y-axis range or set manually
- Ethernet communication: No serial port conflicts
Network Configuration
The firmware is configured with:
- Board IP: 192.168.2.100
- Receiver IP: 192.168.2.20 (your computer)
- UDP Port: 5006
To change these settings, modify the firmware's staticIP and receiverIP variables in src/main.cpp.
Notes
- The firmware reads each LC connector as a differential measurement (pin 1 vs pin 2)
- Currently only reading ADC1 connectors: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 (ADC2 is not soldered)
- Connectors 4-5 and 8-10 use ADC2 (not currently supported)
- The GUI displays all 10 connectors, but only connectors 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 will show data
- Uses DAQv2-Comms protocol for reliable packet transmission over Ethernet
