I’m currently working on a project where I need to interface an ECG module with a microcontroller and plot the ECG data on a display using TouchGFX. Here’s a brief overview of what I’m trying to achieve:
Hardware Setup:
- I’m using an ECG module connected via UART to my microcontroller.
- The microcontroller is interfacing with a 10.1-inch display.
Software Setup:
- The data from the ECG module is received via UART and processed in real-time.
- I need to plot this ECG data dynamically on the TouchGFX display.
Current Approach:
- I’m using DMA for UART data transfer to efficiently handle the incoming ECG data.
- The data is processed and parsed into the relevant ECG channels.
- I’m looking to update the ECG waveform on the TouchGFX screen in real-time.
Challenges:
- Ensuring smooth real-time plotting of the ECG waveform on the TouchGFX display.
- Handling the synchronization between UART data reception and TouchGFX updates.
- Efficiently managing the display updates without impacting the performance of other tasks in my RTOS setup.
Questions:
- Has anyone successfully implemented real-time ECG plotting with TouchGFX? If so, could you share your approach or provide any tips?
- What are the best practices for integrating UART data reception with TouchGFX updates?
- Are there any specific TouchGFX components or techniques that you recommend for efficiently plotting real-time data?
Any guidance, examples, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
