Build your interface with MegunoLink’s designer

What is MegunoLink?

MegunoLink is a customizable interface tool for Arduino. Configure MegunoLink’s interface using our set of visualizers to send commands and receive data:

• from your Arduino program to control the interface, and
• from MegunoLink to control your sketch.

The MegunoLink window can be reconfigured to suit your application. There are visualizers for:

• Interface panel
• Serial monitor
• Tables
• Plotting
• And more…

Display States and Variables

Send data from your Arduino to be visualised using your custom user interface.

In this example we display the analog value from a light dependent resistor three different ways. Via a text box, a gauge, and an interactive plot.

Trigger Actions

Instruct your Arduino to do certain actions using your custom built user interface.

Here we control the position of a servo using two buttons. As each is clicked the servo responds and changes the direction of the arrow.

How can it help me create a user interface? How easy is it to use?

MegunoLink makes creating a user interface easy. Our suite of controls (textboxes, buttons, graphs, gauges etc) are accessible via a simple drag and drop interface. We provide Arduino libraries to handle updating the interface from the Arduino and handing commands sent from the MegunoLink end. You don’t need any experience building windows applications, just follow our simple tutorials and examples to get started.

Why should I use MegunoLink instead of an alternative? (C#, visual studio, etc.)

The alternatives are:

• Hardware – Wires, switches, and screens to display and control your device
• Software – Your own custom application (Visual studio, C#, Python etc)

Each of these alternatives requires numerous hours researching, learning, and implementing. MegunoLink allows you to skip this and get you back to creating. With MegunoLink we take care of:

• Thread safe serial port handling
• Simple in/out command handling
• A flexible and customizable user interface
• Managing projects
• Debugging and creating installers
• Handling Updates

Let us handle the stress of development. Once up and running you can use Builder (our other application) to package up your user interface into a windows installer and distribute it to your customers.
