Fullscreen Raspberry Pi GUI (HMI) Using PySimpleGUI

In this video I'll show how easy it is to design a GUI (Graphical User Interface) that can control the pins of the Raspberry Pi GPIO. On the Raspberry Pi, with input and output pins, this can also be an HMI (Human Machine Interface). This is just the beginning, as the possibilities are virtually endless. I hope it gets you pumped and inspired!

Hi, I'm a student of Engineering, I just want to thank you for your efforts in explaining everything and put comments in every line of the code, I had no idea how to programm anything for a project I'm doing. They gave less than 3 months to finish a GUI on raspberry and you were my savior!!! Thank you so much!

Oh no it's Polish maybe. Damn wait that's American, maybe Canadian. Honesty I'm still not sure. I'm 90% it's American but there's something else in there when he's in front of the camera.

Hi there! Hope you'll be fine. I have seen your tutorials and they are very helpful. I want to appreciate your efforts firstly One question I want to ask is "Did you firstly install PISimpleGUI on your raspberry pi, before running the file in autostart mode?". If yes please let me know the procedure

I copied your code off the video, typed in and checked about a hundred times. When I run the program from Thonny, the relay button is red, tuns green when I click it, but when I click to turn it off it stays green. I haven't wired it up yet, but I'm assuming the relay LED would turn on with the first click and not turn off when clicked again. Everything else functions as expected. Any ideas?

OMG what did they do to the demo files on github? They should have visual examples so you can see what's what. Couldn't find the example from above for Pi. Does anyone have example code that works on a pi like the one above? Thx.

What version of Python did your Pi come installed with? Did you upgrade the Python version?

@BaldGuyDIY 3 жыл бұрын

I’m not sure what version it had. It was the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS when I made the video. What version do you recommend?

@PySimpleGUI 3 жыл бұрын

@@BaldGuyDIY I'm asking as a part of taking a survey basically. PySimpleGUI remains compatible back to Python 3.4, primarily because of the Raspberry Pi. I purchased one not all that long ago and it still had 3.4 loaded on it. For your own programming purposes, I would think 3.6 would be a good version, however, if your code is going to be used by other Pi owners, then you too have to be concerned about Python version numbers. The biggest area I get nailed in (and this biggest area I hate not being able to use) is f-strings. It's a real shame that f-strings cause a syntax error. If I accidentally leave one in the code, anywhere, then it will flat fail to run, even if never hits that statement. As a result, PySimpleGUI itself is written to run on 3.4 and later. My Demo applications DO use f-strings, so they assume 3.6. I limit myself to 3.6 for the demo programs and don't see that changing.

Sir, can we use a 3.5 inch display for the same application as a 7 inch display?

@BaldGuyDIY 3 жыл бұрын

As long as it is HDMI and is recognized by the raspberry Pi operating system as a touchscreen, then it should work the same as what I’ve shown. The window size you use will need to be set to the pixel dimensions of your 3.5” screen, but all the same functionality will exist. Thanks for watching and commenting!

PiSimpleGUI looks just as easy to use as Qt. Not sure why someone would use it instead of Qt, which is much more powerful.

I haven’t used Qt yet. I just know that for simple layouts especially this is incredibly quick. It’s been a while since I made this video. I could probably have this same interface to this level in 10 minutes now.

11:09 How can I start it directly just avoiding the raspberry logo and the screen color (10:50 to 11:08)?

@BaldGuyDIY 3 жыл бұрын

I don’t know a way that you can. You can choose to display the logo(splash screen) or you can choose to display the console that prints each process it starts. But either way, it has to run through the boot cycle before it loads the GUI. If you absolutely can’t have anything on screen before the GUI, you’ll probably need to use a microcontroller and touch screen instead, as that won’t have a significant boot time.

Is this also possible for the RasberyPi pico ?

@BaldGuyDIY 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and for the question. The Pico is a microcontroller, not a microcomputer, unlike other Raspberry Pi boards. It doesn’t run an operating system the same way, but it uses micropython as a language to control inputs and outputs. It doesn’t have easy interaction with a screen through hdmi like a Pi board, so it’s not possible to use this setup on a Pico.
