Help to make a shuffleboard scoreboard

[Slett1]

Hello!

Im a totally newbie at this (as you will notice), but i am trying to use a Raspberry Pi and a TV-screen to make a scoreboard for my shuffleboard.
I've used QT-designer to make GUI, and gpiozero to make a scorecounter. Each of them are working alone, but when im trying to put them together noting happens ( the GUI pops up, but i cant change the values in the LCD numbers) It should work like this: I have three physical buttons, when i press button1 it should add a point for team number1, when i press button3 it should add a point for team number2 and when i press button2 it should reset both counters.

My code looks like this: Does anyone have tips to what im doing wrong?

from gpiozero import Button
from time import sleep
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets

count = 0
count1 = 0

class Ui_MainWindow(object):
    def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
        MainWindow.setObjectName("MainWindow")
        MainWindow.resize(800, 600)
        self.centralWidget = QtWidgets.QWidget(MainWindow)
        self.centralWidget.setObjectName("centralWidget")
        self.lcdNumber = QtWidgets.QLCDNumber(self.centralWidget)
        self.lcdNumber.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(60, 240, 121, 111))
        self.lcdNumber.setObjectName("lcdNumber")
        self.lcdNumber_2 = QtWidgets.QLCDNumber(self.centralWidget)
        self.lcdNumber_2.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(620, 240, 121, 111))
        self.lcdNumber_2.setObjectName("lcdNumber_2")
        self.label = QtWidgets.QLabel(self.centralWidget)
        self.label.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(7, 11, 791, 581))
        self.label.setText("")
        self.label.setPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap("../Pictures/ulven.jpg"))
        self.label.setScaledContents(True)
        self.label.setObjectName("label")
        self.label.raise_()
        self.lcdNumber.raise_()
        self.lcdNumber_2.raise_()
        MainWindow.setCentralWidget(self.centralWidget)
        self.lcdNumber.display(count)
        self.lcdNumber_2.display(count1)

        self.retranslateUi(MainWindow)
        QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(MainWindow)

    def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
        _translate = QtCore.QCoreApplication.translate
        MainWindow.setWindowTitle(_translate("MainWindow", "MainWindow"))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    MainWindow = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    ui = Ui_MainWindow()
    ui.setupUi(MainWindow)
    MainWindow.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
    



button1 = Button(2)
button2 = Button(3)
button3 = Button(4)

while True:
    if button3.is_pressed:
        count += 1
        sleep(0.4)
    if button1.is_pressed:
        count1 += 1
        sleep(0.4)
    elif button2.is_pressed:
        count = 0
        count1 = 0

Please wrap code in Python tags.

app.exec_() blocks program execution until the GUI is closed.

sys.exit(app.exec_()) exits the program as soon as this happens.

This is never executed:

button1 = Button(2)
button2 = Button(3)
button3 = Button(4)

while True:
    if button3.is_pressed:
        count += 1
        sleep(0.4)
    if button1.is_pressed:
        count1 += 1
        sleep(0.4)
    elif button2.is_pressed:
        count = 0
        count1 = 0

Read up on QTimer to see how you can run your GUI and run your hardware code simultaneously.

Using a sleep(0.4) to prevent a button press from being counted as multiple presses is not reliable. You never want to use the sleep() command in a gui application. It makes the GUI unresponsive.
