Install Python
Install python and the python install program pip.
Windows
Install Python from Microsoft store (Includes pip). (Should be python version 3.x)
Mac
Install Python (version 3.x) Maybe it is installed by default (I have no MAC)
Linux
install pip (Python Install Program)
sudo apt install python3 sudo apt install pip
Install Python packages =
Windows
Open a terminal window (search for 'cmd' app)
At the command prompt install these packages:
> pip install pyqt4 > pip install pyserial > pip install pyqtgraph > pip install numpy
MAC
The same packages are needed.
Linux
> sudo pip install pyqt5 > sudo pip install pyqtgraph > sudo pip install pyserial > sudo pip install numpy
Get REGBOT GUI
Install SVN
The source is on a SVN repository, if not available, then install:
Install TortoiseSVN from https://subversion.apache.org On left menu find "Binary packages" and from here the 'Windows' section
- Download TortoiseSVN
- Install, and remember to add 'command line' support.
- restart a 'cmd' terminal after installation
Get the GUI (SVN repository)
The file-browser may have support for SVN (or it can be added), in this case 'checkout' the regbot_gui on this address
svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot_gui
On Linux (and maybe Apple) install subversion (Linux: sudo apt install subversion)
The checkout with the command
svn checkout svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot_gui
Get the GUI (GIT repository)
A snapshot of the GUI is provided for Teensy version 1535 (14 February 2023) in a git repository
Find the repository and the python files here
https://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/git/jcan/regbot_gui.git
Copy files or clone to your disk
git clone https://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/git/jcan/regbot_gui.git
NB! The SVN repository is regularly updated and this GIT version may be outdated.
Run the GUI
The python version
In the regbot_gui directory, run the regbot.py script.
- On Linux, this command line should work:
cd regbot_gui python3 regbot.py
- On Windows
Find the directory in your file browser (Stifinder)
Start the file 'regbot.py' - maybe create a shortcut on the desktop.
If there are errors about libraries, then check if they are installed (from the list above).
Regbot.exe for Windows
A windows executable is generated (using the instructions below); this is found in a subdirectory called "dist".
> cd Downloads > cd regbot > cd regbot_gui > cd dist > regbot
Use the browser to locate the file and execute it. It also holds all the needed python-libraries, so it takes a long time to start.
The regbot.exe file is made on a Windows 10 (I don't have anything newer if there are problems; revert to the Python version)
NB! the version from 2022 does not work anymore; it has to have a date from 2023.
Regbot GUI use
See the User interface
Make a windows EXE file
If you installed all the python stuff, you don't need the exe file.
To make a single exe-file without the need to install anything, then it is a bit more complicated (for me at least)
Install python
- Install python (tested with version 3.8) from https://www.python.org/downloads/ - select 'all users' in install options and also select 'add to path'.
After installation, start 'cmd' terminal windows as administrator (right-click on 'cmd' and select 'as administrator') to install additional packages using 'pip'.
> pip install pyqt5 > pip install pyqtgraph > pip install pyserial > pip install pyinstaller > exit
Generate EXE file
Open a 'cmd' terminal window as a normal user
Then make the EXE-file from the directory with the REGBOT GUI
> cd Downloads\regbot_gui > pyinstaller --onefile regbot.py
This takes some time, and the regbot.exe should be found in a 'dist' subdirectory.
Try:
> cd dist > regbot.exe
PS! tried also with Python 3.9, but regbot.exe failed with the error: "PyQt5.sip not found".
