The link is point to point: everything happens between your computer and the
device. There is no server in between, no account, and nothing goes out to the
internet.
Requirements
Connecting
1
Leave the board plugged in
Over USB, with the usual cable.
2
Open Device → Choose port
The browser shows the list of ports and you pick the board’s.
3
Wait for the handshake
The app introduces itself and keeps retrying until the device finishes
booting and answers.
If something fails
Sending the signal
The device plays back from its own memory: first you send it the whole signal and only then tell it to start. Once loaded, it keeps playing even while you edit something else on screen. The panel shows a summary —“3 channels · 240 steps”— and the send status:What comes out of the device is exactly what you drew, including the analog
curves with their rounding.
Adjustment notices
If what you see on screen does not fit into the device as is, the app tells you before sending:Controlling playback
Live parameters
Voltage
Voltage
In analog, it is the amplitude of what the DAC puts out, between 0 and
3.3 V.In digital, a pin swings between 0 and 3.3 V and knows nothing of
intermediate levels. There this value goes out as a reference voltage for
the external stage —divider, buffer or level shifter— that sets the real pulse
height.
Step time
Step time
How long each step of the signal lasts, in microseconds.
Cycles (RPM)
Cycles (RPM)
At 0, the step time rules.Above 0, one full pass of the signal is one engine revolution:This is what turns a CKP signal into an engine speed sweep.
Changing the step time or the cycles restarts the pass in progress, so the
change shows on the oscilloscope right away. The lap counter is not zeroed: that
is what Restart is for.
If the cable comes loose
The signal stops on its own and the outputs go low. It is on purpose: the device cannot find out that you closed the tab, so if it goes a while without receiving anything it treats the link as finished. Connect again and resend the signal to carry on.Board outputs
In digital, the voltage value comes out on GPIO 25 as a steady reference
voltage.
