Hi again everyone,
Thanks again for all of your inputs.
Sorry it took so long...
After reading your posts, I have some follow-up questions:
@Matt Gerring:Hi Matt, I've read about DAWNSci and I really liked the idea to modulate scientific programs so many code pieces can be reused between projects.
Can you please tell me if the following it possible?
Indeed, my code is written in Python, and I'd like to keep it that way because
Instrumentino is a framework, for which instrument developers (mostly PhD students) will need to write their own codes, to describe and run their own custom systems. I find Python easier to learn and master than most other languages, which is why it's important for me to keep it.
The GUI framework I chose for the next version of
Instrumentino is
Kivy, because it gives the option to easily deploy on all platforms, including smartphones and tablets, which is, as I see it, the next step in instrumental control.
So what I'd like to do is to use code pieces from other (probably Java) projects, and incorporate them in my Python program, using Kivy.
Specifically I'm interested in code pieces for graphical data presentation, analysis and manipulation (e.g. graph smoothing, automatic peak analysis, etc.).
Is this possible? Does the DAWN project cover such cases?@Peter Chang:
Why is GPL no good? Though I've been using open-source software for many years now, I've never dug into the fine differences between open-source licenses. I chose GPLv3 because I read it's the most free license out there, so it sounded good. Only later did I think that it might be a good thing to pick a less restrictive license.
Can you tell me which licenses are supported in the Eclipse foundation?
@Werner Keil:
Hi Werner, I've looked into the Zurich IoT website and their calendar is clear for the next 6 months.
I'll write them and ask if they want me to present Instrumentino there.
When you're in Switzerland, I'll be very happy to meet you. I'm doing my PhD in Basel, so at least for the next 1.5 years I'm here.
Please write me when you're available. My email is
yoel.koenka@xxxxxxxxx (does it show here? I'm not sure).
@Eirik F. Wahl & Andy Gotz:Hi Eirik and Andy,
Thank you both for introducing me to the SCADA world. This took my most attention because for a few days I thought perhaps I was totally off, developing
Instrumentino while there's already a good existing open-source solution out there.
