Panorama
Real-time sensor data is read by a microcontroller and sent to a laptop client through WiFi. Then, data processing and filtering is applied before being the data is displayed on a custom-made graphical user interface (GUI) with a tab that shows the latest timestamped data and a real-time graph to visualize historical behaviour.
Sub-projects
Goals
The Panorama project provides students the opportunity to interface with hardware and develop robust software executable in various computer environments.
Ideas
This project was created due to the absence of a reliable method of monitoring system performance during operation.
Objective
This project will develop a robust and scalable end-to-end telemetry system that collects, transmits, and displays sensor data, command information, and robotic state on a custom GUI.
Future
This platform is planned to be used for all future robotics projects and will continue to be maintained and expanded to support more sensor types and add more user features.
Progress and Milestones
Oct 2025: Project start.
Apr 2026: Phase 1 complete. Able to display real-time data from one sensor on the GUI's data viewer and graph panels.
