GUI with RPi

Tue Feb 26, 2019 10:06 am

Hi, could you help me at a point which is I'm confused.
I'll do a project.

In this project, my aim is that:
- take and measure distance from ultrasonic range finder
- show distance on the Raspi Lcd Screen
+the system should present with GUI.

What should use the software program or which language ? What should I program for GUI ?

I'll do a new project.

Other than dropping the references to LabVIEW this looks very similar to your previous project - https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/view ... 9#p1426459


You have already decomposed the overall project into a number of smaller sub-goals. I suggest you just choose one of those sub-goals and get started.

That way at least you will have something tangible to show your tutor/examiner/supervisor or manager, even if you cannot complete the whole project in the time allocated.

The choice of a programming language will depend largely on your prior experience and knowledge. Many people find that Python is a flexible tool for prototype development with Physical Computing or IoT projects with an RPi, but it is not the only tool available. (Others include C, Ruby, Go, JavaScript, NodeRed, Pascal... )

guizero is a simple Python tool for generating a GUI for an RPi. But again there are many others including tkinter, gtk, remigui, appjar, simplegui...

There is no single option that you are compelled to adopt...

Yes, you're right but other solutions are not enough for Raspberry, I can not go on. :| So, I determined to start again with only Raspberry Pi OS.

Has the specification changed again?
-HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Range Finder
-NodeMCU ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module
-Raspberry Pi B Model
-GPS Module with RTK
and
2) provide internet connection between NodeMCU Wifi module and Raspberry Pi
