Arduino and QT Creator

Joey

Hello Folks,

I would like to create a GUI that will have a START and STOP sampling button and a plot window to open to display the sampled waveform once the STOP button has been clicked. How can I do that? I need your help. Thanks
NB: I'm interfacing the QT Creator to Arduino

Hi Joey.
Welcome to DevNet.
First of all, a title of your post is little bit confusing, QtCreator is a just an IDE. Change title to something like "Ardunio... interacting...".
About your question " How can I do that?".
Which interface you want use for interacting with ardunio?
What is your c++ and Qt knowledge level?

Joey

Yes, I want it to interact with arduino. I'm not so fantastic on C++. But for QT, I'm new.
Thanks

Well i expect that probably you making things hard for yourself how about using AtmelStudio's and C to create and save the waveform (then send it to ur pc via serial). Then just use Qt to display the Waveform just my two cents but might give you an idea.

Well, i think you are familar with Ardunio, otherwise you can find all info from "http://www.arduino.cc/":http://www.arduino.cc/ .
For Qt:

I hope this can help you to getting started
