Installation

Getting the Code and dependencies

1. Install Anaconda3 (64-bit) for Windows 10 from here: https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual and open a Anaconda Prompt
2. conda install -y -c conda-forge git pyinstaller pyserial pyqt pyqtgraph
3. git clone https://github.com/slaclab/pabv_control
4. cd pabv_control
5. We now use submodules for various libraries, run this to pull them
   git submodule update --init --recursive

Downloading arduin-cli

5. bootstrap.py

Compiling all sketches

6. board_compile.py

Tested platforms

1. Windows 10 64-bit
2. Windows 10 32-bit
3. Linux 64-bit
4. MacOSX 64-bit

• Excutables built on Windows 10 32-bit may run on Windows 10 64-bit. Windows 7 or 8 support would require a native build.

Packing the python client for distribution

• simply run the packaging scripts
• pkg_gui.py

Wrapper scripts for arduino CLI

Show connected boards

• board_list.py
• this will create a standalone executable that can be copied to a USB stick

= example filename: dist\client_py_Windows_64bit_v0.0.2-50-g3790d7b.exe

Example output for an UNO

Port Type Board Name FQBN Core

COM3 Serial Port (USB) Arduino Uno arduino:avr:uno arduino:avr

Upload compiled sketch

• board_upload.py COM3 ambu_control_flow_cal

Example output:

Uploading sketch ambu_control_flow_cal to port COM3

Getting Running

• In Anaconda Prompt
  • cd pabv_control/python_client
  • python client.py
