creating app to monitor pressure and temperature

Questions & Answers
1

Hello everyone,

I’m quite new to Unity and programming in general. I’m a grad student in physics and I work with ultra high vacuum (UHV), and at times it would be nice if I could simply open an app on my phone that would display the pressures for the different parts of the UHV system. Additionally, we can monitor the temperature of the room, optical table, etc. on the desktop of our linux system on the lab computer. I think it would be a start to also have the pressure displayed on the desktop. Then the next step I suppose would be to write an app that accesses these displays through our network where I can then track it in real time. And I’m using a windows phone.

Any advice on getting started with this would be great! Thanks in advance!

You might want to look at actual Xamarian for something like this.

You’ll need to find a library that someone has already made that does what you’re wanting…or write your own.

Does the UHV system contain bluetooth or some form of functionality to record/monitor/transmit the temperatures/pressures? Get with the manufacturer and see if they have an API available.

But yeah… I don’t think Unity would be best for something along these lines.
