I'm not a fan of whitespace delineated formatting.

Love the syntax, but I am still new.

If you love TABs, you'll love python
Other than that, it's very C-like. That's all I've got to say about that... |

If you get stuck don’t post an odd bit of code with no obvious intent (smart ass).
I’ve spent the last week trying to learn it for a small project. I think I actually have a working program running a PID control loop for my smoker and logging stuff to a csv file. Now I just need to learn how to get some kind of web interface running on it. I did not want to learn how to program but it’s pretty easy to get going. Good waste of COVID time. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BASE: Now I just need to learn how to get some kind of web interface running on it. Django or flask can get you a web UI pretty fast. Also, PEP-8 sucks when dev teams brainlessly try to follow it. At the very least, have a discussion about the 79 character line limit to reveal the characters on your team. |

I’m going to try to cobble something together with flask. I started reading about it last night and looks doable, even for a non programmer.
I built this thing with a beautiful OLED display in mind. Yesterday I got to the part where I mount everything in the box and it’s dead. Worked fine right up until I cut a hole in my box to fit it and now it’s not doing anything. Seems it’s a discontinued part which is a different size than anything else I can find.  now I have a little more incentive to figure out how to control it remotely.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Circuits: Or they're both quite C-like... Python is nothing like C. In fact if I had to pick a scripting language that was the most dissimilar to C, it would be Python. |

I need to get back in to learning python. Other than BASIC as a teenager, I haven't learned any other language, so writing programs is not a natural thing for me. I was trying to learn with a site that would give a lesson, then test you in an emulator that allowed a program to be written and executed, and it let you move one if you got it working tight. I eventually got hung up on something that should've been simple, and set it all aside.

That sounds like the codeacademy program. I worked through those a few years back. Looks like they are charging money for a lot more of the courses now.
thinking up something I wanted to do and then trudging through it taught me more, faster than any of the tutorials. |

I found another reason besides the white space delineating to not like python. Moving from 2.x to 3.x was a giant pain in the dick. I spent hours getting all the drivers and libraries to work again.
I spent all day yesterday figuring out that running flask with debugging will seriously bungle up the timing of threads. I still have no idea why but after 12hrs of pulling my hair out, I decided to change that flag to false and everything started working perfectly. This really wasn’t the fun and relaxing project I envisioned it being but my smoker works again now. About $100 parts and at least a 100hrs of pulling my hair out. Behold:
