UPDATE 10/31: some code to use EBB with Python and Tkinter: https://github.com/maxrottersman/EBB_PythonTKControlUPDATE, almost done, though just using Plotink to figure out how to write to EiBotBoard. Will post code when I’m done.
Just checking that no one has built a GUI to the Plotink, or directly for the EiBotBoard?
I also noticed that Plotink is not Python 3.4.x compatible (probably minor tweaks). So if you think it should stay in Python 2 then I can switch to that for GUI stuff. Thoughts?I have a custom x/y board for moving a camera around using the EibotBoard and a couple of steppers from EMSL. I need to set parameters for it (stepper movements, shutter release, etc) to run a capture session. Will be easier to have a UI for others and for me to configure/test.Any suggestions appreciated. I noticed that Stipplegen is done in Processing? Is that the way to go?Hi maxotics,
I apologize for the slow follow-up here. Plotink is a set of helper routines that a few of our programs use, but we’ve never really considered adding a separate GUI for it alone. We are continuing to add routines to plotink, to try and make our different programs that interface with the EBB a little more consistent, and to improve performance where possible.Inkscape uses python 2– which is the reason that we are still using it. We have not yet had a compelling reason to update to python 3. However, we are looking at adding additional stand-alone interfaces to control our machines (EggBot, WaterColorBot, AxiDraw) through python directly, which may be cause to start supporting both officially.StippleGen is written in processing. However, if you would like a starting point for communicating with the EBB through Processing, please start with RoboPaint RT, which has routines for managing the serial interface already.
