RITDevX - Rapid Interface Tool for Devices Experiments

RITDevX is a visual interface design tool, which allows the creation of interfaces to control and monitor real devices such as Arduino and Raspberry, allowing to develop experiments quickly.

You can see it as a serial plotter with steroids.

It consists mainly in this modules:

• Designer - Which is the tool to create / design interface, where all aspects are configured.
• Controller - It is the execution tool, which opens the layout defined by the Design module. It is responsible for communicating with devices using the OpenDevice library (but can by extended). This module can be embedded into an existing application or can run in standalone mode.
• Arduino IDE Plugin - Enable easy integration with the Arduino IDE, and more advanced integration with this alternative version of the Arduino IDE. ( **TODO ***)
