Detailed Description

User interface script for data collection and reception from Nucleo.

This is the main script the user will use while simultaneously running data collection file on the Nucleo. This script will read the data that the Nucleo sends us, clean it up, plot time vs. value, then write all the data to empty dataCollection.csv or user can easily change to write to their desired file.

Function Documentation

◆ gCallback()

def userInterfaceW1.gCallback (   key)

Callback function for the 'g' key release.

If user presses the 'g' key down, the keyboard function will be enabled. We will use this callback function to send the letter 'g' to the Nucleo to start data collection when the user decides to.

◆ sCallback()

def userInterfaceW1.sCallback (   key)

Callback function for the 's' key press.

If user presses the 's' key down, the keyboard function will be enabled. We will use this callback function to send the letter 's' to the Nucleo to start data collection when the user decides to.
