Yes, I am that poor soul.
Great stuff here. Pull requests are always welcome and greatly appreciated if you'd like to contribute your enhancements back to QtPyVCP.
I really like the idea of adding it as a custom widget. It's quite easy to do, but we don't have any documentation on doing that, yet...

Thank you Kurt.
Were you the original victim who developed the QtPyVCP code?

Found it.
In order to use connect it must be in the super declarations or the main window cannot see them.
Simply move this in your mainwindow.py: (You have it within the child section)
to below here:
Lastly, you have 2 __init__ definitions. You need only one. In the second one, take:
and put it here:
Delete the second __init_ so that you full code looks like this: ( You can copy/paste over your entire mainwindow.py code)
Lastly, you have the header set twice: (Your header originally): Many times programmers will only show the parts you need to change/add to your files but assume you know that if it is already there you will only change/add what is not. I should have been more explicit in my example code. The way you inserted the examples resulted in 3 super calls and 3 __init_ functions. All overwriting the next.
It should work after that.
Just always remember that all super declarations MUST be present in the __init__ function definition in order to be recognized by lower level or child functions. connect is a function to connect a parent declaration to a child function.
I think I explained that correctly. Lol. It is late.
