-arduino-qt-continuous
-=====================
-
-This example shows:
-- how to build an instrument that communicates via
-exchanging text messages using arduino and lantz.
-- how to query that instrument periodically
-- how to plot the results in a chart
-
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-- Install the latest version of lantz
-
-- Install arduino-cli
-  https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli
-
-- (optionally) Install pyqtgraph if you want to run the run_plot example
-
-- Copy all the content of this folder to your computer
-
-If you do not have the NI-VISA installed, you need to install `pyvisa-py`
-(the pure python backend for pyvisa) and tell lantz to use it by default
-
-In the command line:
-
-    pip install pyvisa-py
-    pip install pyserial
-    lantz config core.visa_backend '@py'
-
-
-Step 1: Create arduino sketch template
---------------------------------------
-
-In the console, go to the folder containing this project and execute the following
-command:
-
-    lantz ino new drivers:TemperatureSensor
-
-This will generate a arduino sketch template for the class `TemperatureSensor`
-located in the `run` module. You will find it in the TemperatureSensor folder.
-It additionally creates a "packfile" named `TemperatureSensor.pack.yaml` that
-contains information to compile and upload the project.
-
-
-Step 2 (optional): Add your own code to the arduino sketch
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-You can customize the arduino code by editing `inodriver_user.cpp` and 
-`inodriver_user.h` within the sketch folder. 
-
-You will find the following functions:
-
-- user_setup: this will be executed during the setup of the arduino just before starting
-  the communication with the serial command.
-
-- user_loop: this will be executed every time the main loop is executed
-
-- ... and one function for each getter/setter you have in your lantz code.
-
-You can just use the default code to get working but dummy example.
-
-
-Step 3: Run it
---------------
-
-In the console, go to the folder containing this project and execute the following
-command:
-
-    python run_display.py
-
-
-Step 4 (optional): Change something in the arduino sketch
----------------------------------------------------------
-
-Edit `inodriver_user.cpp`, for example to return 42.0 from `get_TEMP`
-and run the code again. Notice that lanz recompiles and upload the sketch!
-
-
-Step 5 (optional): Run the plotting example
--------------------------------------------
-
-In the console, go to the folder containing this project and execute the following
-command:
-
-    python run_plot.py
