This project was born from an observation: I rarely use my redpitaya. After a little reflexion, I supect two points:
- power on is not easier as push a button. I need to plug the redpitaya, wait a random number off seconds, open a web browser and try to connect to the default IP. Sometimes, the redpitaya gets another IP adress and I need to launch nmap to find its;
- the oscilloscope application requires many clicks. Before starting, because some parameters isn’t saved and after during the experiments. I dislike using a mouse.
This is why I imagine put my redpitaya in an old cathodic oscilloscope case, controlled by a touch screen maybe with some buttons. But before buying some stuff, I need to verify if I can create a new application to display oscillograms.
I tried to undestand how create a web application, but html and javascript isn’t my favorites languages. And I found how can I remotly control my redpitaya with the SCPI protocol. Great! After writting a client in rust I have written a frondent application (also in rust).
After one month of development, that works fine, not perfectly but good enough to command other pieces of hardware.
