GVC 101 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I decided to design my own little system in python gui. pyQt4 It took me some time to master it , but I reckon in the end I will have a system that meets my requirements. It is still not finished but now that I have finally come to grips with PyQt4 it is going much faster... PaulF007 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here is a fully working excel sheet with working visual basic code that others can start with so long. Credit goes entirely to 'Gruppo' from the Italian forum Alternative energy for the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet works on serial port... I have translated most of the Italian text to english... Axpert_Test.xlsm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here is a Python script that I used to upload the maximum amount of data to emoncms it served me well at the time. But I dont use it anymore. Maybe you can use it in your work.

GVC 101 Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) I have decided to post my python gui here if anyone wants to check it out. N.B. I am an amateur coder so if you see any oopsies feel free to point them out or even better fix them. The logging to SQlite3 database is not connected yet, The gui will create a table but not populate it yet. You need the following loaded on you computer.

PaulF007 400 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 @GVC well done! You should consider loading your work to GitHub. People can then also assist and send "bug" reports,. GVC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GVC 101 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Thanks Paul I will probably upload it to GitHub. This is purely a hobby that I do in my spare time. I coded .mq4 for a Forex forum before and I eventually left as it started to take up too much of my time.....and the demands....lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GVC 101 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Wow, I wish I had found vb.net sooner. Makes me wonder why I started out in Python first. I am really enjoying this... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Louw 92 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 @GVC I like what you are doing . Can you please tell me which version of Python you used I've downloaded version 3.2.3 but then I get an error No module named serial. I would appreciate your assistance, thanks Marlene Louw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
___ 4,128 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 3 hours ago, Chris Louw said: No module named serial You need python-serial (or pyserial for short). Depending on what platform you're running on there will be different ways to install it. On windows, you most likely want to run "pip install pySerial" or similar. Google is your friend.

michknort 1 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) For the type of GUIs you guys are creating, I recommend using MD Python. It has been a game changer for me, the drag and drop GUI Designer saves so much time and frustration and it’s also free. As you could probably tell you just drag and drop premade GUI features and they are ready to be used. If you want to play with the code and add some flair, you can generate the GUIs as Python code. As with all good things, it’s got a downside: you have a limited amount of GUI elements you can use. There is a solution, MD Python Designer but it is £15. If you’re interested here are the links you’ll find most useful: MD Python (https://labdeck.com/python/) MD Python Designer (https://labdeck.com/python-designer/) The Python GUI Designer (https://labdeck.com/python/python-gui-designer/) And if your interested they have their own coding language, from what I’ve seen it’s based on C++ and its seems simpler and neat. The code can also be used for other things and it’s got some cool uses. It’s not really for me but if it interests you go at it. Cool links for it: https://labdeck.com/data-acquisition/virtual-instrumentation/ https://labdeck.com/application-examples-screenshots/ https://labdeck.com/gui-designer/ Edited February 19 by michknort GVC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
