Create a autorun for a PyQt5 raspberry pi Application

Create a autorun for a PyQt5 raspberry pi Application : 

To create an autorun for a PyQt5 Python application on a Raspberry Pi, you can follow these steps:

  • Create a script that will run your PyQt5 application. Let's call it "DemoApp.py". Make sure that the script is executable by running the command chmod +x App_Script.sh.
  • Open the rc.local file by running the command sudo nano /etc/rc.local.
  • Add the following line to the file, just before the "exit 0" line: 'sudo python3 /path/to/App_Script.sh &'.
  • Save the file and exit.
  • The next time your Raspberry Pi boots up, the script "App_Script.sh" will automatically run and your PyQt5 application will start.

Note: If your PyQt5 application requires any specific environment variables or other dependencies to run properly, you may need to modify the script or add additional commands to the rc.local file to ensure that these requirements are met before running the application.

Setting up a USB thermal printer with a Raspberry Pi 3B+

It involves a few key steps. Here’s a complete guide to get it working: 1. Gather Required Materials Raspberry Pi 3B+ (with Raspbian OS installed) USB thermal printer USB cable to connect the printer Printer paper Power supply for the Raspberry Pi and printer 2. Connect the Printer Connect the thermal printer to the Raspberry Pi via the USB port. Ensure the printer is powered on and loaded with paper. 3. Install Required Packages Open the terminal on your Raspberry Pi and install the necessary software: Download the driver software for the printer.  Use install.sh file to install it. $ chmod +x install.sh       // make the install.sh file executable $ sudo ./install.sh        // run the install.sh  $ sudo apt install cups libcups2-dev printer-driver-escpr CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) is a printing system that allows the Raspberry Pi to communicate with printers. printer-driver-escpr includes drivers for many thermal printers. 4. Add U...

Autostart an app on reboot - Raspberry Pi

Option 1: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo nano /etc/rc.local #add path before exit 0 line: su - pi -c "sleep 10 && export DISPLAY=:0 && cd "folderPath" && /usr/bin/python3 fileName.py" & CTRL+O  // to save the changes Enter CTRL+X  // to close the file editor pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo reboot (To check the autostart of the software app.) Option 2: go to /home/pi/.config create an autostart folder create a .desktop file into this. add path of an autoreboot.sh file to it with delay : app.Desktop file [Desktop Entry] Exec=sh -c "sleep 15; /home/pi/on_reboot.sh" Create a virtual environment myenv add app folder to myenv create a on_reboot.sh file in /home/pi/ folder.  Add following paths into this file: #!/bin/bash source /home/pi/Documents/myenv/bin/activate cd /home/pi/Documents /myenv/MyApp python3 app.py sudo reboot to check the autostart of the software app.
