How to add HAL pins to QtPyVCP?

Kurt,

Again fantastic work. With the HAL functionality you have now truly created a fully customisable VCP environment!

A really simple test.

HalSlider - objectName:		bed_temp_SP
HalLabel - objectName:		bed_temp_PV
HalLCDNumber - objectName:		bed_temp_SP_LCD

custom_postgui.hal

Result:



Nice!!

Scott, glad the HAL widgets work for you!
I like your idea of the combined setpoint slider and readout, I'll have a go at making that.

Cheers,
Kurt

Thanks Kurt,

The only other thing that would be really cool would be a HAL plot widget. For my 3D Printer UI this would be allow the trending of temperatures over time, something other Printer UI's have... I really need to learn more Python.

A HAL plot widget would be useful for all sorts of things. PyQtGraph is a very capable PyQt based plotting toolkit that would be easy to integrate with QtPyVCP. There are other parts of QtPyVCP I need to concentrate on now, but if you would like to play with adding a HAL plot widget I would be more than happy to help guide you.

Hi Kurt,

Thanks. I keen to learn some more python so that would be great. Probably the simplest way would for the HAL Plot Widget to create it's own pins and use the custom_postgui.hal file to net the required connections. Then how to format range and spans... First step though is to understand the widget framework.
