Software to control the vacuum reservoir system

Vacuum Reservoir Controller

Control program for a vacuum reservoir controller to be used as a backing system for turbo pumps on vacuum rigs.

This program is developed using Qt 5.10 and runs on the QutiPi hardware and OS.

Setup

To setup the program first open a cmd / terminal and navigate to the folder where you wish your new project to exist.

cd C:/development/qt/

Next we are going to clone the project project into a folder called 'my_project'. You can replace 'vacuum_reservoir_controller' with a name of you choice.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/MU-Electronics/vacuum_reservoir_controller.git vacuum_reservoir_controller

You can now open the project.pro file in Qt Creator to start your new project.

Update submodules

In the future if you want to update the fluid and quitpi-cpp packages you can run the below

git submodule update --remote --recursive

Requirements

This project was intended to be used with Qt >= 5.10

The compiler for this program and unlimitly the QutiPi hardware can be found on the QutiPi meta-qutipi repo.

Connection gets null pointer

No idea where in the application this happens but it outputs an annoying warning message to the user visible log.

Global leak detect

Leak detection is performed on each section before use. However each section should be monitored continuously to detect for leaks also.
