What/Why
A lot of the behavior of the terminal is controlled by the file parameters.py. My own files have grown to be quite complicated with modifications to match many different arduino projects, and to automatically adjust to different hardware and software environments.
Because of this complexity I am providing a set of parameter files that you can use more easily as a basis for your own. These are in a subdirectory example_parms. To use copy one over into the smart_terminal directory and rename to parameters.py. I will start by explaining the file parameters_basic.py, and later explain more powerful and complex files.
The details of each parameter are commented in the parameter files, and you may also find it helpful to search the other SmartTerminal files to find their use. If at any point you find it useful to add parameters that is ok as long as you do not use a name already in use.
Basic Parameter Example
- This is based on the file ..../smart_terminal/example_parms/parameters_basic.py.
- The parameters are all that are needed for a basic terminal application, nothing fancy but all the basics, and much more than the arduino serial monitor.
- Well commented read the file!
What the Parameter File Does
- Sets part of the title of the application.
- Sets the communications parameters.
- Specifies a program for file editing.
- Sets the size of the application.
- Defaults data to be sent.
- Change number of send areas.
- More see the file.
An Intermediate Difficulty Parameter Example
- This is based on the file ..../smart_terminal/example_parms/parameters_intermediate.py.
- The parameters include all the basic parameters plus ones to support a greenhouse arduino monitor.
- You should also look at the arduino application and....
- Well commented read the file!
What the Parameter File Does
- Everythiong the basic file does plus the following.
- ....
- More see the file.
