    I’m the author of ROSshow (GitHub - dheera/rosshow: Visualize ROS topics inside a terminal with Unicode/ASCII art 3), which lets you visualize ROS topics with ASCII art.

    I do something very similar in ROSshow for NavSatFix (GPS) messages: https://github.com/dheera/rosshow

    https://github.com/dheera/rosshow/raw/master/screenshot3.png...

    It also has a pure ASCII mode:

    Unfortunately this utility isn't really usable outside of the context of robotics and ROS but one could extract the map rendering functionality and create a separate utility out if it if they wished.

    The main difference in approach between this and Mapscii is that I actually just convert raster map tiles from OSM instead of using the vector data.

  • Building Rich Terminal Dashboards
    12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Feb 2021
    I built a visualization tool for ROS topics that uses Braille to achieve a dot-based interface in the terminal:

    I imagine a lot of it could also be re-used in creating terminal dashboards for other purposes.

    ROSboard -- visualize ROS topics in the web browser

    https://github.com/dheera/rosboard

    Lots of things that could be done with this but a lot of robotics teams and projects got laid in the past year and it doesn't have as many users as it once did. There is also Foxglove which is a full-blown funded startup working on something similar.

    I’m introducing ROSboard (GitHub - dheera/rosboard: ROS node that turns your robot into a web server to visualize ROS topics 6), which simply runs on your robot as a ROS node, and serves up live-streamed visualizations on https://your-robot-ip:8888/
