* Show a disconnected info box informing the user that the device was
forcefully disconnected and requires user intervention.
* Don't print exception info to console on connection failure to avoid
cluttering it up with programmer info.
- Bugs fix:
1. Params Tree user input will not get overwritten
by incoming report thermostat_data_model.
2. PID Autotune Sampling Period is now set according to Thermostat sampling interval
3. PID Autotune won't get stuck in Fail State
4. Various types disconnection related Bugs
5. Number of Samples stored in the plot cannot be set
6. Limit the max settable output current to be 2000mA
- Improvement:
1. Params Tree settings can be changed with external json
2. Use a Tab system to show a single channel of config instead of two
3. Expose PID Autotune lookback params
4. Icon is changed to Artiq logo
- Restructure:
1. Restructure the code to follow Model-View-Delegate Design Pattern
Also:
* Add aioclient
The old client is synchronous and blocking, and the only way to achieve
true asynchronous IO is to create a new client that interfaces with
asyncio.
* Finish Nix Flake description and make the GUI available for `nix run`
Follow ARTIQ, and in this project lets us include the version number
directly in flake.nix instead of linking to the toml file of a specific
release date, as we use stable Rust.
Also, from nixpkgs manual:
both oxalica's overlay and fenix better integrate with nix and cache
optimizations. Because of this and ergonomics, either of those
community projects should be preferred to the Mozilla's Rust overlay
(nixpkgs-mozilla).
The REF pin of the MAX1968 on hardware revisions v2.x is missing a
buffer, loading the pin on every CPU ADC read. Avoid reading from it and
leave the pin floating on affected hardware revisions, and return the
nominal 1.5V instead.
Thermostats v2.2 and below have a noisy and offset feedback current
`tec_i` caused by missing hardware on 2 MAX1968 TEC driver pins:
1. A missing RC filter on the ITEC pin that would have isolated CPU
sampling pulses from the signal; and
2. Some missing buffering on the VREF pin that would have avoided
loading the VREF signal, preventing voltage drops from the nominal 1.5V.
Since the resulting signal `tec_i` derived from these two signals can
have an error of around +/- 100mA, and readback may affect the stability
performance of the Thermostat, disable current readback entirely on
affected hardware revisions for now.
See https://github.com/sinara-hw/Thermostat/issues/117 and
https://github.com/sinara-hw/Thermostat/issues/120.
On hardware revisions v3.x and above, this would be fixed.
