Hello there !
i am having a problem with threading.
OK, i have this GUI app that i am building with pygtk.
there is a process (four actually, just working on getting one right now)
that needs to run in the background.
there is a button that starts the background function. But, it locks up
the gui. it doesn't run in the background, it locks everything up. It
still runs though.
one of the things this background process is to do is updata a viewable
area on the GUI. Now when run from a terminal, when i hit CTRL+C
it stops the thread, but doesnt kill the GUI, and the TextView gets
updated right then with everything it should have gotten before.
def Serial1():
print 'running serial 1'
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyS15', 2400, timeout=None)
loopy = 1
i = 1
while loopy < 5:
x_Now = strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
i = i + 1
a = ser.read(1)#read one byte
a = ord(a) # change byte to integer
if (a < 64 )or (a > 127):
continue
b = ser.read(1)
b = ord(b)
if (b < 64 )or (b > 127):
continue
c = ser.read(1)
c = ord(c)
if c < 92:
continue
d = ser.read(1)
d = ord(d)
if d < 128:
continue
Sensor_ID = (a & 63) + (b & 63) * 64 + (c & 1) * 4096
Status = (c & 62) / 2 + (d & 63) * 32
c = int(c)
d = int(d)
x_Now = strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
f = open('/home/piv/PivData/tmp/Serial/'+str(i), 'w')
Input1Data =
str(Sensor_ID)+'\t'+str(Status)+'\t--------->\t'+x_Now+'\n'
Input1Iter = self.Input1Buffer.get_end_iter()
self.Input1Buffer.insert(Input1Iter,
Input1Data)
f.write(str(Sensor_ID)+'\n'+str(c)+'\n'+str(d)+'\n'+str(Status)+'\n'+x_Now)
f.close()
thread.start_new(Serial1())
the code may not be best form, i am still fairly new at this. so i am
also open to
any constructive critisism.
thanks
shawn
