can python do this job/
#1
hello, new in the forum. but also still learning python. recently I found python as a great programming language, I watched some video and was amazed when I found out that there are many popular website that is python based today.
So I thought I could give it a try, I have a little amount of programming skills, I learned how to program arduino before.

I would like to ask if it is possible for python to make an application like an EFIS software. something like this
[Image: search?q=EFIS&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&...NfHwTefIM:]

the datas that will control the movement of efis software will be coming from arduino with an accelerometer,gyro and magnetometer, particularly the gy80
[Image: search?q=gy80+libraries&source=lnms&tbm=...80&bih=694]

is there any way I could make an EFIS software using datas like these

any suggestions about this project?
if you have anything I could start with, need some help,

The simple answer is yes.
The real answer is yes, with a lot of work.
But indeed yes.

I am not an expert on the subject, far from it, but I do know that you need to design
instrument panels, etc. I think wxpython (phoenix, which is the latest version)  would be a
good candidate for that, perhaps Qt5 would be another as well.

Here's a sampling of what can be done with wxpython: https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/w...Meter.html
as far as other packages you will need, they can be found here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi. If you need to use one of there packages
they are a snap to install. See: https://python-forum.io/Thread-Basic-Par...er-Windows, or if you
will be  using Linux: https://python-forum.io/Thread-Basic-Par...nvironment

I have to admit I am biased toward wxpython because of it's totally free approach,
but Qt5 is a fine package and you should look at that as well.
I have a tutorial on how to install wxpython here: https://python-forum.io/Thread-wxPython-...ep-by-step

Here's some other sites for components, etc:
