Qt for the Raspberry Pi
A step by step guide to set up the GUI framework
Elektor software developer and lab worker Mathias Claußen was tasked to develop a control for the FM radio on the Raspberry Pi [1] using a touch screen. The platform-independent (GUI) framework Qt has almost become the go-to industry standard to build such interfaces, so the choice was clear. For any developers out there facing similar challenges, Mathias has put together a manual that shows how set up a cross-compiler environment on a PC to allow you to compile Qt applications for the Raspberry Pi from a PC — he also includes a simple demo of course.
Gerber file
CAM/CAD data for the PCB referred to in this article is available as a Gerber file. Elektor GREEN and GOLD members can exclusively download these files for free as part of their membership. Gerber files allow a PCB to be produced on an appropriate device available locally, or through an online PCB manufacturing service.
Elektor recommends the Elektor PCB Service service from its business partner Eurocircuits or AISLER as the best services for its own prototypes and volume production.
