MegunoLink Pro – Overview

MegunoLink is a customizable interface tool for Arduino sketches. Configure MegunoLink projects from our set of visualizers to send commands and receive data:

• from your Arduino program to control the interface, and
• from MegunoLink to control your sketch.

The MegunoLink window can be reconfigured to suit your application with our dockable visualizers, like Visual Studio or Altium. There are visualizers for:

• Interface panel
• Serial monitor
• Tables
• Plotting
• And more…

Graph your data

Add a single line of code to your sketch and MegunoLink will plot data sent from your Arduino in real-time. For example: Plot.SendData(“Temperature”, GetTemperature());

Graphs help your users:

• See what your sensors are measuring
• Spot trends
• Compare changes in different sensors
• Interpret the output from your sketch

Plots can be easily copied to the clipboard as pictures. And the numerical chart data can be exported into Excel or other software for more analysis.

Build a user interface

It takes a long time to untangle and wire up switches and lights.

Our interface panel lets you control your Arduino with virtual controls sending serial commands, even if you’ve never used a button control before.

It’s a simple 3 step process:

• Drag and drop UI elements onto your interface panel with the designer
• Give each control a command. Commands are sent when a button is clicked or a value changes. And commands can use values from other elements.
• Apply the design changes to your interface panel.

Interface panel controls can trigger measurements, start experiments, configure your creation and retrieve information from your program.

Make a table

Having trouble spotting a variable in a cluttered monitor window? Our Table visualizer lets you tabulate values so that you can monitor their current values easily.

Our Arduino library means one line of code and the table comes to life.

Monitor serial data

Monitor serial communications from your Arduino in real time.

• Shows both send and received serial communications
• Display non-printable characters
• Time and date stamping
• Copy/paste and save to disk
