## What it is
Serial Studio is an open-source cross-platform telemetry dashboard application that turns data from embedded devices and industrial buses into live visual dashboards with plots, gauges, maps, and 3D views. It supports multiple transports (UART, BLE, TCP/UDP free; MQTT, Modbus, CAN Bus, OPC UA, raw USB, HID in the Pro build) and can record, replay, and export sessions.

## Use cases
- visualize sensor data from an Arduino or ESP32 over serial
- plot real-time telemetry from a drone or rocket
- monitor Modbus registers on an industrial PLC
- decode CAN bus frames from a vehicle or robot
- build a ground station dashboard for a model rocketry project
- log sensor data to CSV or SQLite and replay it later
- replace Arduino serial plotter and serial monitor with a richer tool
- stream MQTT sensor data into a live dashboard

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made GUI dashboard for embedded device telemetry without writing code
- you work across serial, BLE, network, and industrial protocols like Modbus or CAN
- you want session recording, replay, and export (CSV, PDF, MDF4) built in
- you need a cross-platform tool that runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi

## When to avoid
- you need a headless or server-side data pipeline rather than a desktop GUI
- you require industrial protocols like MQTT, Modbus, CAN, or OPC UA without buying the Pro license
- you need a fully permissive license for commercial binary use without a paid subscription
- you want a web-based dashboard shared across a team rather than a local desktop app
