Ok, I tried to put the monitor code on EMdash, but couldn't figure out
how or where to upload it.
In the meantime you can get it here:
http://mysite.verizon.net/swsawtelle/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/atx_monitor.zip
This has a PDF with the Alltrax ATX commands, another describing my
software, and then the software source and executable.
If anyone has a chance to try it out please let me know the good, the
bad, and the ugly.
A couple things I need to do:
1. Make the logging interval exactly 1 sec. It's a little longer right
now, since I'm not really timing it the right way.
2. Add a data filter. I don't know if this is really needed as I don't
have a good running EM to test it on. It could be a simple low pass
filter to make the data changes a bit smoother, and/or a median filter
which tends to eliminate oddball data spikes that may occur.
Again, it looks like there are emulators and/or simulators for a variety
of platforms. I believe the emulator (PC and MAC) will actually use the
serial port and should be therefor be fully functional. I don't know
about the simulators.
