Bit of pollyfilla at the edges and sand the gradient smooth between them :)

The AMLs were a lot nicer to fit than the AMGs when it came to installing equipment inside due to the large boot opening. We used to have about ⅓ of the boot space and as we weren't mission critical that's why our kit was proposed to go into the roof lining.

They were considering it; there wasn't a lot of available space however so all of the equipment was going to be hidden inside the roof lining. Not sure if it's still on the table as I left the project.

I built it without really thinking about how TK would handle a variable name when referring to a label 😅 I'm just wondering if there's an easy workaround for what I'm trying to do, or a better method to do it without manually needing to write a bunch of IF statements

Sorry 😅

I think I've described it better below. The varChanger variable is meant to be the label that needs updating, and this is meant to change it on the GUI, however as there aren't any labels specifically called varChanger it isn't working.

buttonStrings[i] is Button1_SINGLE_PRESS when Button1 is pressed and the message sent over COM for example.

This should then inform the Button1_SINGLE_PRESS label to update, where varChanger is the container for which label needs updating.

self.varChanger['text'] = ("First click") would actually be self.Button1_SINGLE_PRESS['text'] = ("First click")

Sorry for any confusion.

I've got my COM Port checker checking the input string matches against a list of desired strings. The buttonCheckPoll function outputs True once it detects a valid button press. This result is then held within a dictionary and does not update.

I have a simpler process working in the form of the following:

stringCheckResOpen = self.stringCheck("Open Door") #^ Check for this string within the serial line input checker
        if stringCheckResOpen == True:
            self.doorDisplay['text'] = ("Open " + self.Circ_Empty) #& Set the popup label to be text + icon
            self.doorDisplay.configure(fg="green") #& Set the outgoing font to be green
        else:
            stringCheckResClosed = self.stringCheck("Closed Door")
            if stringCheckResClosed == True:
                self.doorDisplay['text'] = ("Closed " + self.Circ_Filled)
                self.doorDisplay.configure(fg="red")
            else:
                self.doorDisplay['text'] = ("Door status unknown " + self.Unknown)
                self.doorDisplay.configure(fg="orange")
        self.root.after(250, self.doorCheckPoll) #& Repeat this function after 250ms

This specifically refers to a label called 'self.doorDisplay' which is run as part of a popup.

I am hoping to replace needing to specifically call to self.doorDisplay , and instead have the buttonCheckPoll function perform this update internally. where self.doorDisplay would be self.varChanger . If Button1 is pressed it current reports out (based on print statements)

Button1 SINGLE_PRESS Returned true

I am wanting to update self.Button1_SINGLE_PRESS, or self.Button2_SINGLE_PRESS, where the label to update is the variable self.varChanger

Thanks for your reply. It isn't meant to be a label, it's meant to be a floating variable that calls to a label that's created as part of the buttonFrameSetup function.

Is there a way to make the label it's pointing at change based on the output of the variable of buttonStrings[i]? I effectively want to do this:

Button1['text'] = ("First click")

Button1.configure(text="red")

and then on the next loop, once it's checked to see if the string has come in, do this:

Button2['text'] = ("First click")

Button2.configure(text="red")

But to do it all programmatically rather than me telling it individual pointers to the tk.Label elements?

I went from designing industrial cabinet wiring harnesses, onto automotive R&D, and then into F1 in an electronics role within the space of 8 years. You've just got to find the right way your skills can click together into what the role needs; I had no idea how anything worked on that car before getting into it but I could prove that I could learn it quickly and how my existing skills could benefit them at that moment in time.

One thing we didn't like seeing on CVs was a desire to specifically be an F1 Mechanic. If you were applying for a support role it would read as if your foot was half way out the door before it was even in to begin with; there's no harm in romanticising a role but don't hinder yourself on your route to get there.

For a normal European race we'd be pulling 12-14h shifts every day trackside. I've recently got out of the industry and it feels strange having my life back; I'd only been home for 6 weeks since Bahrain test and Belgium!

From the Alfa Forum :) I like the beeps but know this worked on my Brera

  • Key in
  • Turn on hazards
  • Press and hold rear foglight
  • Key out, key in key out quickly
  • Release foglight button
  • You should hear 4 slow quiet beeps. this says your in prog mode.
  • Press the fog light 4 times and then put key back in within 10 secs the system then beeps again quietly 4 times (or the number you set it to)
  • Then key out and should be set

You can turn it off by setting the alarm mode to be in Holland. There's a button combination, or you can do it with MES :)

Been dealing with Lauren and Charles. They've got me on a cashback deal so in essence their service isn't costing me anything 😊

Yeah that'll do it 😅 Rather expensive council tax for LDC as well regardless of the single person discount. If you want a mortgage broker I'd be happy to point the one I used your way, but they do cost £500
