Setting Up Dev Environment

• Create Python 3.8 Virtual Environment

   python -m venv ./.venv

• Activate environment and install dependecies

   .venv\Script\Activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt

Dev Dependecies

• A device that can connect to a serial port (e.g. Arduino Uno)
• Sample Arduino Code for test device:

  int i = 0;
  
  void setup() {
      Serial.begin(9600);
  }
  
  void loop() {
      Serial.println(i);
      i++;
      delay(1000);
  }

Setting up the debugger

1. Connect your test device to you computer
2. Run python main.py --list-ports to find which port your device is connected to
3. Open launch.json in .vscode
4. Edit args to match the current port:

   "args": ["open", "{your-port-here}", "-b 9600"]

5. Press F5 to start debugging

Building the Code

pyinstaller .\src\main.py --onefile
