Need help to decide if AI could fit my requirements

[roty]

Hello,

I would like to build a litte App to visualize a couple of serial sensor data.
But I'm not sure if App Inventor (AI) covers that what I would like to get. I don't want
to start with AI and give up after a while. I watched some videos and read
some descriptions, but I did not find a sufficient answer from my point of view.

Can please help someone and tell me if the following requirements can be
covered by AI?

Assume an Android smartphone is connected to a local WiFi network:

• open a TCP client and connect to a certain TCP server
• send and receive short commands just via TCP
• display received data in a numerical and graphical manner in real time.
  (simple line graphic, but at least 3 graphs in chart)

Would be nice if someone could advice.
Thank you very much

There is an extension to work with TCP

TCP/IP Extension

Hello everybody, Last year, I needed a component in AI2 that did the work of a client socket. As there wasn’t any, I used Web component instead, but it didn’t do everything I need. A few days ago, I saw that there were the possibility to use extensions, but didn’t find a client socket one. I decided to make one so. Here it is : ClientSocket extension V0.4.4.2 (Trailling 00 bug repair and timeout set release) ! Properties : serverAddress (R/W) serverPort (R/W) timeoutms (R/W) hexaStringMode …

and you could use the chart component to display realtime data

Charts component. Graphic shift left. Lissajous figures. Oscilloscope

In another category (PU) @ABG showed us some code to shift a graph to the left with the Chart component. Here is a version of the code. borrar_charts.aia (3.5 KB) [shift_left] [charts1] [shift_left2] Thank you @ABG

Great, thank you very for much your advice.
I briefly checked the TCP and the graphic test and it works.
So I think I can start and I hope I can count of
further help if I stuck anwhere.
