Unable to run toasting.py

[Caz3mir]

Hello. I am unable to run toasting.py after about a week of installing all the stuff needed including wxpython wich takes a few hours to compile and totally freezes my Rpi. Here is the error i get:

What version of wxPython did you install? The error seems to be related to the syntax/arguments expected between different versions

Also, try the modularize branch. I have no idea what the state of the master branch is.

What version of wxPython did you install? The error seems to be related to the syntax/arguments expected between different versions I used wxpython 4.1.0 and about all the latest packages i could find. This has taken me about a week with having to compile wx for 2 machines i tested it on and culminating with today getting the same error on rpi3 as on the first desktop pi i tried for faster compile speed. I have emailed you but got no answer, is there any way we can get in touch about this project? Thanks in advance

I'm not interested in commercializing this project, nor do I have much time to devote to fixing any issues. I run it on an rpi3 and haven't used it in over a year - yes, setting it up was a pain because of wxPython but at the time, that's the GUI package I was using at work so I was familiar with it.

I spent a little time trying to create a web UI using JS so the RPI could act as a server and any web-enabled device could interface with it, but I quickly learned that I hate web development and dropped that project.

Anyway, I can't really offer much help - this project is mostly hosted on GitHub as an example and was never really intended to be polished to perfection. If I find some time to set my oven back up and try the code, I'll let you know.

Hey,

I finally had a reason to break out my reflow oven again, so I worked through the issues getting this up and running on a fresh Raspbian install on a Pi 3B+. The master branch has all of my updates. Note that I force pushed onto the master branch since I didn't feel like working through the conflicts.

Updates I made:

• Now uses wxpython==4.1.1, which is available as a wheel in pypi (no need to compile!)
• Also updated matplotlib & numpy and worked through some issues from those updates - namely stuff in matplotlib

Eventually I'd like to refactor most of this project as it's not PEP8 compliant at all, and I really hate running the UI on the Raspberry Pi (requires a monitor or a VNC connection). That's unlikely to happen any time soon...
