Hi all,
I've started work on a ground-up rewrite of my TwoToneDetect software (website of existing program and forum thread) using the Python language instead of the LabView language that it was originally written in. I'm doing this to make the code more accessible to other developers out there, as Python development doesn't require any expensive tools or programs. I'm also hoping this new version will be more stable (not crash every few days), although that remains to be seen. Finally, the new version handles stacked pages, which is something I know a lot of people really wanted. Development of this new version is still in its infancy, but I'm looking for a few people to start testing it. If you have experience with Python programming, all the better. Right now the basic functionality is there but it's really bare-bones, with no real GUI to speak of. Here's a snapshot of my "to do" list:
Supported Features
Features still to add
Once the program is a little further developed I'll create a new page on my website for it with instructions, etc. In the meantime, an zip file that has the EXE version of the program can be downloaded from SourceForge here:
Once you download the zip file, extract it and read the README.txt file for instructions on how to get the program configured and operating. Once I get a little more familiar with SourceForge, I'll also post the source code there so others can add features or make improvements. This is my first experience with Python, so development may be a little rough, but hopefully we'll end up with an improved version of the program. I've got a lot on my plate right now, so development might also be slow, but I wanted to get something released so people can start playing around with it and get some feedback in the pipe.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Regards,
Andy
