Hi, Nice video. I think these types of projects would be easier for someone with a web development background. As I come as a long time Arduino hobbyist and more recent Python/microPython hobbyist I struggle to understand the html, css, and javascript. I am impressed that you are fluent in at least 4 code languages. Maybe one day I will get there.
Hey Keith, I am actually a learner myself in the field of IoT so there are lots of things that I am still exploring also. My focus is more on the intersection of the hardware components and the software side so I try to create unique project contents that you won't see on other sites. At the same time, I am trying to explain my thought process by explaining the design first and then walking you through each line of the code in the companion write-up. The HTML/CSS/Javascript part might be daunting at first and I am not an expert on this as well but there are lots of beginner tutorials online that would walk you through this stuff. I am having fun actually interacting with the hardware component from my mobile phones and sharing my project adventures by documenting them with video content and writeup.
Hey, let me know if something is not clear with this project. I am quite surprised myself how responsive MicroPython is in handling the insane amount of sensor readings and how Plotly.js is still able to display the chart. Both these two combination is really awesome.
Thank you very much for your thorough explanation and tutorial. I have decided for my robotics use case that I am going to experiment with MQTT instead. It seems like WebSockets may be more complicated than necessary for my communication system.
Compelling, and challenging. I do struggle keeping nodejs/js and python straight...maybe chatgpt will rescue me. Now consider adding some rotary encoders and interrupts to the mix, and please continue the great work.
