Summary
Creating a Python GUI-to-Hardware Interface
This class will show you the software and hardware needed to create a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to interfacing with external hardware using Python.
This class will take you from understanding the software and hardware tools needed to create a Graphical User Interface to interfacing with external hardware. This is not a programming class on Python but will provide you the tools to create a GUI, interact with the GUI and then use treading and serial modules to interface with a Microchip Curiosity Nano Evaluation board. Some additional modules in this class with teach you how to interface with DLLs and use those to interface with additional hardware. This knowledge will allow you as an engineer to understand the concepts needed to create custom automated testing, system data logging and even end of the line testing and programming systems.
