Using pyXede on Mac OS X
- Install wxPython
2.4. wxPython is a cross-platform graphical toolkit. It allows
programmers to write graphical applications that run on many different
systems. It's important that you install version 2.4 as subsequent
releases broke compatibility. Installation steps vary on different
releases of OS X, but the directions in the previous link should be sufficient.
- Install PySerial.
This is a general purpose serial port library needed to talk to the
Xede.
- Install Aquaterm.
Aquaterm is OS X tool that allows various programs to draw plots on macs.
- Install Gnuplot.
Gnuplot is a very high quality, free, data plotting program. This is
easy as pie to install.
- Almost done, now download a pyXede release from the webpage. Decompress it
and look for a file called wxgui.py. Ctrl-click this
file, go to Open With, and choose the Terminal
application in Applications/Utilities. Enjoy! If you want to try
a different version of pyXede, just download a new release file.
