SerialMonitorWPF (Laser & Sensor Debugger)
WPF diagnostic tool for real-time monitoring of COM-port laser and sensor grids, displaying raw hex packets, parsed binary states, and device connection statuses to help engineers debug arcade hardware.
Role: Sole developerPeriod: 2025Tech: WPF, SerialPort communication, Real-time packet parsing, Binary grid visualization, Hardware diagnostics tooling
Highlights
- Built multi-port COM monitoring for up to four laser and sensor controllers.
- Displays both raw hex data and parsed binary grid formats for easy fault detection.
- Added real-time response monitoring to identify slow, degraded, or stuck sensors.
- Widely used by on-site engineers to troubleshoot hardware failures.
Outcomes
- Significantly reduced time required to diagnose sensor issues
- Improved accuracy of hardware troubleshooting
