Pinguino as Voltmeter (Multimeter)
Well, today I managed to put up a little python script which uses Pinguino as Voltmeter.
The script can be found on pastebin. It is quite short, but it implements two classes: Analog Multimeter for the nice Voltmeter gauge pictured below, and Piguino which abstracts Pinguinos USB interface.
The driving Pinguino script is on pastebin too.
So, what you need is Linux with installed python, PyKDE4, PyQt4 and PyUSB. In order to install PyUSB you will ned libusb too.
Just upload the Pinguino script to Pinuguino and run the python script and you should get something like this:
Oh, and you should bring some current to PIN 13 (first analog input) on Pinguino. You can try to put a trimmer resistor in front of the PIN 13 on the breadboard an play with it to see gauge moving!
That's all folks!
