Serial Studio is a cross-platform telemetry dashboard and real-time data visualization tool. It supports input from serial ports, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), MQTT, and TCP/UDP sockets, allowing data acquisition from embedded devices, external software, and networked services.
Serial Studio runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is suited for telemetry monitoring, sensor data analysis, and real-time debugging in educational, hobbyist, and professional environments.
There is a free and open source version.
Key Features
- Operation Modes:
- Project File Mode (recommended): Uses local JSON files created with the Project Editor to define the dashboard layout and data mapping.
- Quick Plot Mode: Automatically plots comma-separated values with no configuration.
- Device-defined Mode: Dashboards are fully defined by incoming JSON data from the device.
- Core Capabilities:
- Cross-platform: Runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- CSV export: Save received data for offline analysis or processing.
- Multiple data sources: Supports serial ports, MQTT, BLE, and network sockets (TCP/UDP).
- Customizable visualization: Build dashboards using various widgets via the integrated project editor.
- Advanced frame decoding: Use a custom JavaScript function to preprocess raw data or handle complex binary formats.
- MQTT support: Publish and receive data over the internet for remote visualization.
