Re: QT block to plot datapoints as they come in and keep history

Hey,

I had similar requirements a few years ago and came up with a rolling-scope block:

https://github.com/RWTH-iNets/gr-rollingscope/

I haven't used this code for quite a while so no guarantees but maybe it can serve as a base for your own implementation.

Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Julian

Hello,

I have a block which computes a distance and outputs this distance regularly (10x per second) via a message.

I am looking for a way to plot this distance over time: Basically, whenever a new update comes in, it should show this value while keeping a certain amount of past samples so that the distance can be seen over time.

I played with the QT GUI Time Sink for quite some time (playing with sample rate, update period, sending a vector of same numbers in the message or sending just a vector with one element). The value updates but it only shows the point at t=0 which moves up and down on the y-axis ... but I do not get the history over time.

I also tried implementing a "message-to-sample" converter that works like this:

def incoming_msg(self, msg): # whenever new message comes in, update our state
  if pmt.is_f32vector(msg):
     dist = pmt.to_python(msg)
     self.distance = dist[0]

def work(self, input_items, output_items): # this is a source block
   output_items[0][:] = self.distance # for each block, just output constant signal
   return len(output_items[0])

Now I see a constant line that shifts up and down regularly, but still no distance-vs-time plot.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Luke
