This is where all the code will live for the tube furnace CVD system in SEB 2026.
A description of the files follows:
- main.py: the main file for the project
- CVD.ui: the XML file which contains all the information for the GUI - this is the file generated by Qt Designer
- gui.py: the result of compiling the CVD.ui file with pyuic5
- example_recipe: demonstrates the formatting required for the CVD recipe
- function_files
- equipment.py: defines classes for the different types of equipment used in the system with methods for controlling them
- recipe.py: recipe class for handling recipes
- startup.py: function which is called on program startup in order to establish communication with all networked devices
The following steps may be followed to get the CVD control software up and running on a new machine.
- Python
python -m pip install virtualenv
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
