SensorTransmitter

A simple threaded application generating random sensor data and transmitting them to a GUI

You can find a demo of the application on the following link: video

This repository contains 2 applications:

• SensorGenerator
  • A threaded application, simulates a behavior of a temperature and a humidity sensor. The data is transmitted using a Flask API
• SensorProcessor
  • GUI application developed using Qt. Downloads sensor data from the Flask API once per second and updates the GUI based on these values

Installation

These modules were developed using the Anaconda distribution. The enviroment is exported to sensor35.yml. Python 3.5 is used

To create the same environment, use:

conda env create -f currency35.yml

If you are using a different distribution use requirements.txt (use with virtualenv)

Code

For more information about how the code works, check the docstrings in the code.

All the code has been revised with pylint

Testing

Unit tests have been done for the SensorGenerator app To run the tests use py.test

• SensorGenerator\test_temperature_sensor.py

Move to the SensorGenerator directory and try to run the following code:

pytest test_temperature_sensor.py

Usage example

• First run the Flask API
  • go to the SensorGenerator directory
  • run python api_site.py
  • Normally the api resides on the following URL: 127.0.0.1:5000/sensor
• Run the GUI application
  • go to the SensorProcessor folder
  • run processor_gui.py
  • The GUI should show up
  • Click on start to start receiving data
