baudtide
BaudTide is AspidIoT's open-source Linux serial workspace for ESP32, Arduino, and USB/TTY devices. It runs the whole bench, compares live and recorded telemetry, searches every capture, and carries a safe view onto your iPhone.
Open-source ambition
BaudTide is our contribution to the greater IoT community: a public, inspectable workspace for the everyday work between a board, a serial line, and the engineer trying to understand what just happened.
Let the roadmap, issues, and implementation stay visible to the people building with connected hardware.
Capture raw device output on the machine where the work is happening, with exports when the team needs them.
Give embedded developers a focused starting point for testing, observing, and extending the serial workflow.
What ships inside
From the first port discovery to the final exported log, BaudTide keeps embedded debugging readable and close to the device.
Discover USB and TTY ports or enter a path manually, reuse recent device settings, tune serial framing, and let automatic reconnect watch for a board that drops away.
Auto-discovery / manual paths / recent profiles / auto-reconnect
Keep several devices open in independent tabs or tiled views, preserve per-device settings, and save named layouts you can return to later.
Multiple devices / tab + tile views / saved layouts / session restore
Pause, filter, search, or clear the visible terminal while raw logging continues, then send text or exact hexadecimal bytes with session-specific line endings and display encoding.
Non-destructive display controls / text + hex / timestamps / encoding
Detect repeatable telemetry in nested JSON, key/value, CSV, and TSV streams; align live sessions with saved captures; then overlay, replay, window, and export the fields that matter.
Live + capture comparison / independent or overlay views / CSV + JSON export
Every terminal writes to a raw local log. Filter captures by state, search metadata and captured content, preview or save a copy, reopen a log in Visualize, or reconnect with its original setup.
Local raw logs / indexed content search / preview / reopen / save copy
Scan a same-network link to open live telemetry and raw output on iPhone or another phone, share or download logs, and expose remote text or hex commands only when the desktop operator explicitly enables them.
iPhone-ready companion / QR pairing / read-only default / revocable control
Product proof / interface tour
Fresh captures from BaudTide's current desktop workspace, driven by a live environmental-sensor feed and a real same-network phone connection.
Compare a live session with recorded captures, align their starts or clocks, select up to eight signals, and replay the saved timeline at the pace you need.
Search captured content and metadata across the local library, separate active, completed, and interrupted logs, then preview or move a result straight into analysis.
Open the same signal on iPhone with a QR link, follow live telemetry and recent packets, and keep the companion read-only until the desktop operator chooses otherwise.
Built for the real bench
BaudTide pairs an Electron desktop shell with a React + TypeScript interface and Rust-backed Linux serial access, so the UI stays calm while the device work stays real.
AspidIoT / open-source ambitions
The repository is the front door: read the code, try the workflow, report what your hardware needs, and help make IoT tooling more open by default.
