Using Dash to Create Interactive Web Apps for Non-Technical Audiences

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Built an interactive Dash app that reads load‑cell data from an Arizona Vortex tripod, shows real-time plotting of channels, records event logging, and generates post‑test Plotly graphs with max‑value summaries. Code uses Python, Dash (Flask/React/plotly.js), numpy/pandas and a DAQ; styling and callbacks are cleaned up and the app works well enough to hand to firefighters. Planned additions include sensor calibration and wireless logging (Arduino).
