Template for projects using both Pi4J and JavaFX

rasppifx-template-project's Issues

Implement medium sized app

To verify the template in a more realistic scenario, a larger example app has to be implemented.

This should be done before the students use the template.

Done

• LCD Display is used (I2C)
• Distance Sensor is used (CrowPi Component needs to be enhanced)
• Distance Sensor Component approved by Pascal
• Buzzer is used (PWM)
• GUI consists of TextField (-> LCD), Label (-> Distance), Slider (-> Buzzer)

Debug Run-Config

CrowPi-Tutorial contains a debug run config.

This should be copied.

Done

• You can debug the application running on RaspPi from your laptop

README completion

done

• Presentation Model Concept explained
• How to start a new application based on ExampleApp
• Debugging is explained
• How to implement TestCases
• all todos in README are done

Move repo to Pi4J account

Title says it all

Provide pure Pi4J MVC example

It's recommended to use MVC for applications with a PUI only. There is no need to have a GUI to use MVC

Done

• example runs on Pi
• example properly shutdowns GPIO
• README explains new example
• example is approved by Frank

Controller actions should be done in separate thread

Actions are triggered by UI elements.

To avoid UI blocking, all these actions should be done outside the UI-thread.

ConcurrentTaskQueue should do the job.

• new Controller-API designed and liked
• TestCases are green
• GUI never freezes even for long running actions
• action sequence is kept stable

Improve ConcurrentTaskQueue

Currently both 'todo' and 'onDone' are executed in a separate thread.

For TestCases that's a problem.

The TestCase remains green even when an assert fails (when called inside 'onDone').

This is especially important for application specific Controller-Tests, using ControllerBase.runLater

Done

• Controller Tests turn 'red' if an assert fails or an exception is thrown
• Controller Tests turn 'green' if all asserts are OK

Translate README for non FHNW members

• README is in English
• All FHNW specifics are replaced
