SerialGUI-rs is a graphical serial monitor written in Rust.
It uses the serialport-rs library for serial communication and eframe for its desktop interface, giving users a cross-platform way to connect to serial devices without relying on a terminal. The application is designed for monitoring live serial output and can also visualise incoming comma-separated numeric data in a chart panel, which makes it useful for tasks such as watching sensor values and other streamed measurements.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Configure serial communication settings including baud rate, parity, and related parameters.
- Monitor serial device output in real time.
- Plot incoming numeric data in a live graph panel.
- Automatically scale charts to match changing data ranges.
- Handle fragmented packets from continuous serial data streams.
- Limit chart history to 1000 samples to keep memory usage under control.
