Start with demos you can run in the browser right now. Each one is a focused proof — watch it work, then copy the source to use in your own project.
Demos you can run right now
Source-backed demos
Platforms in the roadmap
The fastest proof that Data Network works live in the browser.
A new user can connect in the browser, publish structured or plain-text payloads, and watch live events move instantly across tabs.
▶ Run demo →A browser-native p5 sketch proves visual pub/sub without leaving the web app.
The same demo channel can drive a visual p5 surface in-browser, not just a text console, which makes the platform feel much closer to artist and installation workflows.
▶ Run demo →Run DataNet from browser coding sandboxes like p5.js Web Editor, CodePen, and JSFiddle.
Creative coders and frontend developers can paste the hosted DataNet SDK into an online editor, configure a browser key for that editor's runtime preview origin, and subscribe or publish without a local server.
▶ Run demo →Shows the same channel and payload contract working from a Node script into the browser.
A scriptable backend or utility runtime can publish the same canonical payloads that the browser demo receives without translation.
View demo details →Pairs scripting-friendly publishing with artist-friendly visualization.
Scalar telemetry from Python can drive a p5 sketch using the same sensor schema and channel naming that hardware demos will share.
View demo details →Creates one coherent creative-coding story across two familiar environments.
Processing and p5 can participate in the same visual workflow when they share one array-oriented scenario and channel contract.
View demo details →Any Arduino — even a classic Uno with no WiFi — can feed live sensor data to the browser via a USB serial bridge.
A non-networked Arduino (Uno, Mega, Nano, Leonardo) participates in DataNet flows when a local bridge script reads its USB serial output and publishes canonical telemetry. Three bridge paths are provided: Node.js, Python, and browser-native Web Serial API.
View demo details →WiFi-capable microcontrollers connect directly to DataNet — no bridge computer needed.
An ESP32 or ESP8266 can authenticate via HTTPS, open a secure WebSocket, and pub/sub canonical telemetry channels completely autonomously once flashed. This is the right path for standalone IoT devices and wireless installations.
View demo details →Proves remote fixture control by sending binary Art-Net or DMX frames through Data Network.
The platform can carry raw lighting-control payloads from a web or script publisher into a hardware or bridge receiver, which is one of the strongest demonstrations of remote control and binary transport in real installation workflows.
▶ Run demo →These platforms are planned but not yet runnable — no source files exist yet. They map Datanet's target coverage, not today's demos.
