MotionView

|

MotionView's creation was inspired by other visualizers such as Grafana and Graphy. Our goal was to create a high-performance versatile VRC dashboard that is packed full of features, easy to use, and easy to understand.

MotionView is a high-speed telemetry dashboard and live visualizer for VEX PROS teams. It turns a raw stream of terminal numbers into a highly visual, actionable representation of your robot's behavior. Stop guessing why your robot is failing, and start seeing it.

Core Features

• Live Streaming: See your robot's exact path, heading, and speed drawn on a virtual 2D field.
• Compare and Contrast: Overlay multiple datasets (such as actual and target velocities) on the graph at once.
• Customizable UI: Pin critical variables as custom floating UI widgets, and drag floating widgets around the screen.
• Path Planning: Draft, edit, and simulate routes interactively, then overlay your planned path onto a real recorded run.
• Smart Telemetry: Create periodic set-and-forget watches and stream general-purpose logs over a high-speed binary protocol without eating up your V5 CPU.
• Events are synced: Click on an event to see exactly where and what the robot was doing at that time.

Quick Start

1. Download: Grab the latest release for your OS from the Releases Page.
2. Demo: Download the Example Route, press Cmd + O in MotionView to open it, and press Space to watch a recorded run.
3. Connect your Robot: Install MVLib into your PROS project to start streaming your own live data.

Version Compatibility

How to check your versions:

• MotionView: Click the ? icon in the app, and look for the version number in the bottom left.
• MVLib: Run pros c info-project in your terminal and look for libmvlib.

Because MotionView and MVLib communicate using a highly optimized binary protocol, you must ensure your desktop app and your PROS library are compatible.

MotionView App	Requires MVLib	Notes
v1.2.x	v2.0.x	Current Release: Introduced high-speed binary telemetry.
v1.1.x	v1.1.x	Non-binary data protocol
v1.0.x	v1.0.x	Legacy data protocol (missing some features)
