What is Instrumentino
Links to what the authors think:
My Take
Instrumentino is an instrument control system designed to interface with various smart or semi smart systems. Prepackaged with the system is a program that makes an arduino a sort of smart sensor ( this in C++ ) and the Python code to interface with this Arduino which we will call the controlino
Why
Install
Misnomer I do not want to really install it I want to get it running in my Spyder environment. Russ's Computer Environment
On windows not going well
C:\Users\Russ>pip install instrumentino Collecting instrumentino Using cached instrumentino-1.0.tar.gz Collecting wxPython (from instrumentino) Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement wxPython (from instrumentino) (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for wxPython (from instrumentino) C:\Users\Russ>pip install wxPython Collecting wxPython Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement wxPython (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for wxPython

Well, not so bad. Useful to know that my Spyder already had wxpython, came with it or I installed, who knows. Also useful to know wxpython is called wx. This helps a lot.
This works
Download the file from github, the zip file. Unzip. Ignore a bunch of the stuff and take the
\instrumentino from ( ........\instrumentino-master\instrumentino ) and copy it to the place where your spyder projects live ( making a new project instrumentino )
Find the file:
......\SpyderP\instrumentino\__init__.py
and modify the top to:
from __future__ import division import sys sys.path.append( ".." ) #...... rest of file
This should make it run.
To do much more it seems you need an arduino.
Clean Install on Mint
