Week 17 - Interface and Application Programming
In this weeks assignment, we will use the board from week 14, input devices and improve the data display while
communicating with a computer.
My board has a photodarlington and I will use python for my interface and application programming.
Neil mentioned a lot of applications, which already have a python support.
I have installed tkinter ad I will play around with its features.
Frame is a container for other widgets.
I started to install tkinter, matplotlib, numpy and so on before I found
SciPy, where all this nice packages are wrapped up in one install.
To use my windows machine, I have installed
Anaconda, which contains a python version and the SciPy package.
I am trying to get an real time chart from my data readings. After spending a while on this, I found out, that
Maurice Op de Beek from Fab Lab Amsterdam did the same thing in the Fab Academy 2013! Here is his
page about interfaces.
I uploaded his python script and figured out, how it works.
I started also to set up a kind of moving bars with Neils
script. I am still working on this, sioince I am having problems,
getting the right geometry and sensitivity of the bars.
