Welcome to the MVP3000 ESP32/ESP8266 repository, an integral part of the MVP3000 rapid prototyping framework.
The MVP3000 framework is written for and by very early stage startup projects/companies. It aims to streamline the development and testing of new sensor or manipulation hardware and the consecutive transfer from the basic concept to a minimum viable product (MVP), a demonstrator device, or an independent setup for applications like manufacturing process control. It is build around readily available low-cost hardware and open software solutions.
A key feature of the framework is the seamless transition between the different development stages. Starting with the initial proof-of-concept script on the engineers laptop with a serial connection to perform first data analysis, moving to a laptop-independent data collection via wireless network allowing longer-term studies, towards a control device using a handheld Raspberry Pi with touchscreen.
The framework comprises three main repositories:
- MVP3000 ESP32/ESP8266 written in C++. It offers a web interface for main settings including data processing such as averaging, offset, and scaling, as well as data transfer options via serial interface or wireless to a MQTT broker.
- MVP3000 Controller. Designed to run on a Raspberry Pi or a dedicated computer, this repository supports long-term data collection and demonstration capabilities independent of an engineer's laptop. It acts as MQTT broker and stores the received data in a MariaDB table. It includes a web kiosk interface for modern, touch-based user interactions.
- MVP3000 Evaluation written in Python. The class receives data either via the serial interface or from the MQTT broker and allows basic processing such as averaging, offset, and scaling on the client side. It includes a number of scripts to display the data, record single or repeated or continuous measurements, and to perform basic standard analysis.
To install MVP3000 as Arduino library please download the main branch of this repository as zip file and follow the instructions for either manual installation or using the Arduino IDE
The listing in the Arduino library manager is planned for a future release.
First steps, examples, and detailed options are given in the documentation of the respective module
- Sensor Module: The sensor module receives sensor data from a user script and processes it. It is then output in CSV format via serial console and optionally published to a MQTT broker.
- LED Module (planned)
- Manipulator Module (planned)
Typical use cases do not require to create a custom module. For example the Sensor Module is independent of which sensor is used. It expects data which it then handles to provide additional standardized functionality. The sensor read-out is part of the custom user-code.
In order to develop and integrate a new module into the MVP 3000 framework please follow the documentation to Custom Modules.
