Reading live telemetry data via Wifi

Hi all. After few hours or setting up and configuration of my Petoi, I managed to setup the wifi ESP8266 module and connect to the little dog remotely. Now I have a super cool internal website that I can visit from my browser on its dedicated IP address and give commands to the device.

Question: is there a way to fetch the telemetry data of the dog in real time? I tried setting up a TCP server and I can get some data but then the dog behaves strangely. I checked the documentation and I could not find pages with a similar case.

Thanks.

Hi Jason, thanks for the comment. Any data coming from the sensors attached to the dog: light sensor, ultrasonic, touch, and so on. It would be cool to fetch these data in real time and show it in a web page, just to see what the dog "sees" in real time. Is it possible?

I think you can add some printing sentence in the program to print the sensor data, then the computer fetch them and save it into a csv file.

You're welcome. To save space of the Flash, you can comment out the macro as follows:

#define GYRO_PIN 0   // for the gyroscope feature
#define IR_PIN 4  // Signal Pin of IR receiver to Arduino Digital Pin 4, the remote controller
#define TASK_QUEUE  //allow executing a sequence of tasks, if you enabled the other modules, the task queue will be automatically enabled. \
  // because it takes up memory, it should be disabled if the GYRO is enabled. See "#undef TASK_QUEUE" under ifdef GYRO

What type of telemetry data of the dog do you want to fetch in real time? Please take an example.
