Topic: Planning to record a tutorial for the plugin; encountered a problem.
Dear QET Users,
I would like to record a short video tutorial on using the Terminal Block Generator tool.
I believe it could be very valuable for the community, since the youtube videos showing the tool are a few years old already.
Right now I am a QET beginner myself and have some problems with starting the terminal block plugin. I have also watched around 4 QET tutorial series and no tutorial covered the terminal block generator plugin.
I would like to first ask for your help with setting up the plugin on Windows and Linux. I read the forum but I was not able to get the terminal block generator plugin to work on my machine.
My configuration, let's start with Windows:
qet_tb_generator-1.2.4
Windows 10 Pro x64, OS build 19042.928
QET 0.8-dev
Projects from other users I try to test the plugin with:
https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopi … 082#p13082
What I already did:
- Added python to Windows environment variables
- Placed qet_tb_generator in the
C:\Users\Jakub\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scriptsdirectory
1. Plugin cannot be started by QET itself (Project-> "Launch Terminal Block creation plugin" gives the window informing about the installation process)
2. Getting the errors when trying to launch the qet_tb_generator.py from the command line in the C:\Users\Jakub\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts directory:
C:\Users\Jakub\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts>qet_tb_generator.exe

Similar thing happens when I run qet_tb_generator-1.2.4.exe file.
I am very grateful for you for developing this software. I hope that we could overcome these setup problems and I will be soon able to set up my workflow and give back to the community with some how-to guides.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Jakub
