Hi folks!
New to the forum and Eyesy. I just ordered mine over the weekend, very happy their back in stock. While I’m waiting I’m attempting to learn pygame so I can make my own modes (or, more likely, edit available ones). I’m working on this Pygame tutorial to learn the basics.
My question: is it possible to preview my mode on my computer with Python? I can make the simples scripts from the tutorial work, but when I try to give it an Eyesy mode, I don’t see anything. Since I’m new at this, I’m sure there is something fundamental I’m missing. But I would love to be able to work on a mode without necessarily being plugged into the hardware. Is that possible?
Well I answered my own question by scrolling through the forum! Someone built a program to view modes on your computer without the hardware! Unfortunately I can’t seem to get it working, but I will post my questions on this top in that thread.
I wanted to update this thread in case it helps someone else.
I couldn’t manage to get the tool I linked to above to work for me. But I found some information in this thread about using LLM tools to create Eyesy modes. I tried asking ChatGPT to change the code so I could preview it on my computer without an Eyesy device. It works Ok (I think), not perfect but good enough that I can experiment with tweaks.
It seems to do best with simple requests, more complicated ideas get wonky pretty fast.
