I’ve been tinkering on a small side project: a web dashboard that lets you plug a board into your laptop and
get an instant serial monitor + real-time plots. No IDE, no driver hunt—just Chrome/Edge and a USB cable.
- Built mainly for people who occasionally need to check an Arduino/Teensy/Rpi etc. (engineers outside firmware teams,
workshop hosts, makers on the go).
- Shows serial logs, lets you send quick commands, plots any numeric streams automatically, and even flashes a
precompiled firmware without leaving the page.
- Currently very beta: battle-tested only on a Teensy 4.0 so far. It should work with Arduino UNO and friends,
but I haven’t had the chance to test every combination yet—expect rough edges.
- The plan is to expand compatibility (ESP32/ESP8266, more upload backends) and maybe one day offer browser-
based compilation/upload for non-specialists.
If you don’t have a board handy yet, click “Run Demo” for a full tour of the serial monitor and plotter :)
If that sounds useful—or you just want to smash it until it breaks—try it here:
