Hi,
New here and new to python so please bear with me.
I believe I followed all the instructions properly installing Python and everything else from the readme.md file.
When Current Viewer 1.0.7 appears, the vertical graph bars moves sideways towards the left as expected since samples are coming-in, the samples per seconds is roughly 2300, the LAST and AVG keep changing therefore I know the data comes-in but for some reason, in the graph itself, there's no data.
If I close all of this and just connect to the LPL device using a serial terminal like Tera Term and press 'u', then the data gets displayed.
So the problem is not the device nor my installation of the Current Viewer 1.0.7 application, it's something in the application itself not plotting the data on the graph (as I stated, the SPS, LAST and AVG change non-stop).
You should see three screenshots below. On my device, the displayed current draw is around 60mA.
What now?
Thanks,
Ben
UPDATE: I managed to see the lines on the display. I have to zoom-out because the interpretation of the samples in the application is wrong. The device is drawing 60mA on average but the graph, being logarithmic on the current draw scale, interprets the data as Amps so it thinks that 65513.793 is "65513.793 Amps" rather than 0.065513793 Amps.
UPDATE: It works! I guess I missed the part on the device itself that I must toggle logging format using f = cycle serial logging formats (exponent,nA,uA,mA/raw-ADC) and I set it to 'exponent':
