QT / Toon emulator? Good development environment?
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2020 8:06 pm
Hi all,
Since I like the whole project and the effort many people put into it, I started to fiddle around with making my own app/tile.
I'm trying to integrate DSMR reader (as a start, later my solar panel info) information with Toon to get it display some data. I managed to at least get the tile working and the 'App' part to retrieve data from DSMR reader.
However I'm having a hard time getting the info aligned onto a tile and debugging why variables are not populated etc. I know how to get gt to log into a logfile, but does anyone know about something like an emulator or share what dev. environment/setup they use? Because now every time I need to restart the gui to test changes and that takes at least minutes to start (Toon v1) just to discover I made a typo somewhere or that my changes didn't have the desired effect. As you can imagine, quite a frustrating procedure.
So instead of re-inventing the wheel, I thought checking here if anyone has some info about a better way to develop (and test!) apps for the Toon.
Linux tools are preferred, but I also have a windows VM so windows tools would be possible.
Hope this is the correct subforum to ask. Else feel free to move ;o)
Regards,
Onno.
