Serial-Studio/Serial-Studio

Features

• Protocol Debugging Toolkits - Provides a toolkit for parsing binary protocols, decoding frames, and sending commands to microcontrollers and instruments.
• Multi-Protocol Device Connectors - Connects to microcontrollers over Serial/UART, Bluetooth LE, TCP/UDP, MQTT, Modbus, CAN Bus, and other protocols.
• Binary Protocol Parsers - Writes JavaScript or Lua parsers to convert binary protocols into datasets, starting from 28 included templates.
• Script-Based Transformations - Decodes raw frames using built-in templates, JavaScript, or Lua scripts, then applies per-dataset transforms like filtering and scaling.

• Application Command Surfaces - Exposes 320+ application commands over TCP and gRPC streams for external programmatic control.
• Multi-Protocol Connection Managers - Abstracts Serial, Bluetooth, CAN, Modbus, MQTT, and network sockets behind a unified connection layer.
• Protocol Decoders - Decodes binary protocols using JavaScript or Lua scripts with built-in templates and transforms.
• Hardware - Maps hardware device protocols through a plugin-based abstraction layer into a common frame pipeline.
• Multi-Protocol I/O Abstraction Layers - Unifies serial, Bluetooth, CAN, Modbus, MQTT, TCP, USB, and audio inputs under a single connection lifecycle.
• Frame Processing Pipelines - Routes incoming bytes through configurable detection, decoding, and transformation stages using JavaScript or Lua sandboxes.
• File-Based Project Storage - Stores all dashboard layout, device configuration, and parsing rules in a single version-controllable JSON file.
• Dashboard Widgets - Renders live data by binding widget instances to dataset sources through a reactive layout that updates on each frame arrival.
• Data Stream Recording and Replay - Logs incoming frames and raw bytes to CSV or SQLite, then replays recorded sessions for analysis and debugging.
• Real-Time Metric Visualization - Builds live dashboards with plots, gauges, maps, and spectrum displays for monitoring incoming device data.
• Data Visualization Widgets - Displays incoming data through over 15 interactive widgets including line plots, gauges, bar charts, GPS maps, FFT spectrum, and accelerometer views.
• Desktop Applications - A desktop application for connecting to, decoding, visualizing, and recording data from hardware devices.
• AI-Assisted Editing Environments - Modifies project configuration through an in-app chat panel that calls the project-editing API using a bring-your-own-key AI provider.
• Project File Editors - Edits the project file through a chat panel that works with local or cloud AI models using your own API key.
• Project Configuration Editors - Edits project configuration files through an in-app chat panel using a bring-your-own-key AI provider.
• Data Stream Replayers - Logs incoming frames to CSV or SQLite and replays past sessions for analysis and debugging.
• Filtering and Transformations - Filters, scales, and calibrates datasets as frames arrive using JavaScript or Lua transforms and shared data tables.
• Session Stores - Persists every frame and raw byte to a SQLite database with indexed timestamps for replay and offline analysis.
• Project Configuration Editors - Provides an AI chat interface for editing project configuration files with bring-your-own-key LLMs.
• Bluetooth Connectivity - Scans for GATT peripherals and subscribes to notifications to stream sensor data wirelessly.
• MQTT Bridging - Publishes and subscribes to an MQTT broker to bridge hardware data into an IoT infrastructure.
• Device Automation Scripts - Runs an Arduino-style setup and loop to automatically send handshakes, poll registers, and keep connections alive.
• HID Device Communication - Decodes report descriptors from gamepads, joysticks, and custom HID devices through hidapi.
• USB Device Communication - Communicates with devices over bulk and isochronous endpoints using vendor-specific protocols via libusb.
• CAN Bus Interfaces - Decodes classic CAN and CAN FD signals from a DBC file for automotive, robotics, and industrial applications.
• Multi-Device Connection Managers - Connects several devices in one project, each with its own protocol, and keeps recordings synchronized across sources.
• Socket Networking - Opens TCP or UDP sockets to receive unicast, broadcast, or multicast data streams from network-connected devices.
• Dashboard - Opens any recording back through the same dashboard to review past data with the same visual layout.
• Device File Transfers - Sends firmware images, configuration files, or scripts to a device using plain text, binary, or XMODEM/YMODEM/ZMODEM protocols.
• Modbus Register Pollers - Polls holding, input, coil, and discrete registers over Modbus RTU or TCP using imported register maps.
