Ploting real-time graph with C#

Projects Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer

Hello. I need a advice. I want to make program in C# which is ploting a real-time graph according to temperature change readed from Arduino. I'm using VS 2012. I don't know how to start - if you've any links/guidelines I would be grateful.

Do you really need to do this?

Do you know of the PLX-DAQ macro? You may find that is all you want. http://www.parallax.com/tabid/393/default.aspx

The following shows how Arduino goes with it. The serial commands are all you need.

//  code uses Arduino LCD stuff, for shield on Freetronics EtherTen.
//  Serial print commands are for PLX-DAQ
//  Research your own pins!

#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

LiquidCrystal lcd(8,9,56,5,6,7); // patchwire is D4 to A2 (pin16) on this proto
int flag;
// Data wire is on pin 3 
#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 3
// Setup a oneWire instance to communicate with any OneWire devices
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);

// Pass our oneWire reference to Dallas Temperature. 
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);

// Assign the addresses of your 1-Wire temp sensors.
DeviceAddress InThermo = {  
  0x28, 0x69, 0xC2, 0xB0, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0X9F };
DeviceAddress OutThermo = { 
  0x28, 0x7A, 0x8B, 0xC0, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x2F };

//temperature variables
float InTemp, OutTemp, diff, drain, flow, power, tempC;

void setup(void)
{
  // start serial port
  Serial.begin(9600);

  // set up the LCD,s number of columns and rows: 
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  Serial.println("LABEL,Time,TempIn,TempOut,diff");
  // Print a message to the LCD.
  lcd.print("temp in     out");    

  // Start up the library
  sensors.begin();
  sensors.setResolution(InThermo, 12);
  sensors.setResolution(OutThermo, 12);
}

void loop(void)
{ 
  delay(1000);
    Serial.print("DATA,TIME,       "); 
  flag = 0;
  //Get the sensor readings. There are two of them
  sensors.requestTemperatures();

  GetandPrint(InThermo);
  InTemp=tempC;
  flag = 1;

  GetandPrint(OutThermo); 
  diff = tempC - InTemp;
  Serial.print (diff); 
  Serial.println(" ,  ");

} 

void GetandPrint(DeviceAddress deviceAddress)
{
  tempC = sensors.getTempC(deviceAddress);
  if (tempC == -127.00) {
    Serial.print("Error getting temperature");
  } 
  else {
    Serial.print(tempC);
    Serial.print(" ,  ");
  }
  lcd.setCursor (1,1);
  if (flag==1)
    (
    lcd.setCursor (11,1)
      );
  lcd.print (tempC); 
}
