[PyQt5] Qlabel doesn't update

[DrKaiser]

Hello,
I want to display measurement from my raspberry pi on my gui. Everything is working fine except it displays the value from when the script has been started and doesn't update the Label after new measurements. I'm a beginner with Python and with Qt, what am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

# CCS811 (CO2-Sensor) an den I2C-Bus anbinden
#ccs811 = adafruit_ccs811.CCS811(i2c)

# Sensor Typ auswählen (DHT11), GPIO Pin auswhählen (GPIO6) und Daten in Variable schreiben
sensor = Adafruit_DHT.DHT11
pin = 6
humidity, temperature = Adafruit_DHT.read_retry(sensor, pin)


# CCS811 (CO2-Sensor) Bereitschaft abfragen und auslesen falls bereit
#def get_CO2():
#    if not ccs811.data_ready:

#    else if True:

@DrKaiser said in [PyQt5] Qlabel doesn't update:

time.sleep(2.0)

Why?

In the code you posted I do not see where you're actually getting the data from the sensor?
I suggest to use QTimer with a timeout. Connect a slot to the times timeout and in that slot call

humidity, temperature = Adafruit_DHT.read_retry(sensor, pin)

and set the values yout get from sensor in your labels.

@jsulm Thanks for your answer. I am not sure how to implement the QTimer in my code, as a said I'm a beginner with Qt. Could you please show me an example on how to use it with my code?

[jsulm]

@DrKaiser Please start with documentation, there are examples: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtimer.html

label10.move(380,295)

Sigh. You should also read about layouts...
