public function to set lineedit in mainwindow

SGaist

You are missing the & before the functions in the connect statement.

Hi,

Thanks, I indeed forgot those. But this didn't solve the problem.
I still get:

void  TSP::readingAvailable(TSP::valuesFromCanSensor) is protected

No Idea what this means.

Kind regards

@TMJJ001
hi

void TSP::readingAvailable(TSP::valuesFromCanSensor) is protected

means that in the TSP class its listed under protected.
that means nobody from outside can call it.

So are you sure that is the function you are meant to call ?
who made the TSP class ?

TMJJ001

@mrjj

Thanks for the reply,

I made the class myself.

void readingAvailable(struct valuesFromCanSensor candatasend)

this is the signal I emit in the tsp.cpp . In my tsp.h this function is under "signals:".
(As in the above code.)

This signal should call the function tspVisualize.

So I don't get it why it is protected.

mrjj

@TMJJ001

its listed under protected in the .h file.

TMJJ001

@mrjj

Sorry but I don't see it. How is it under protected in the .h files?
It is under "signals:", how is it then under protected.
Looks like I'm missing something some thing big times!!

Kind regards.

mrjj

@TMJJ001

or maybe i do, but you are not showing any code so im just guessing. :)
its normally what message means.

@mrjj

Ok sorry, I will post my code again:

So Lets start with the mainwindow.h

#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H

#include <QMainWindow>
#include <tsp.h>
#include <QMessageBox>

namespace Ui {
class MainWindow;
}

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~MainWindow();

public slots:
    void tspVisualize(struct valuesFromCanSensor candata); //This is the slot which get called after signal readingAvailable.

private slots:

private:
    Ui::MainWindow *ui;

};

#endif // MAINWINDOW_H

Next I will show the mainwindow.cpp file

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
#include "canbus_socket.h"
#include "tsp.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    delete ui;
}
void MainWindow::on_searchButton_clicked()
{
    TSP tsp_run(this);
	ui->Terminal_textEdit->appendPlainText("Start reading sensor");
    tsp_run.can_tsp(ui->comboBox->currentText());							// Here I call the function can_tsp from the class TSP
    connect(tsp_run,&TSP::readingAvailable,this,&MainWindow::tspVisualize);	// Here I connected the signal readingAvailable to the visualization.
}																			// readingAvailable will be called at the end of can_tsp and will pass a structure to tspVisualize



void MainWindow::tspVisualize(struct valuesFromCanSensor candata)
{
    qDebug()<< "ID " << candata.can_id;
	ui->DT_lineEdit->setText(QString::number(candata.can_id,16));

	// ... and visualize all other parameters from the passed structure

}

next tsp.h

#ifndef TSP_H
#define TSP_H

#include <QObject>
#include <QMessageBox>
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QDebug>

class TSP : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit TSP(QObject *parent = 0);
    ~TSP();
	
	struct valuesFromCanSensor{		// Set structure to send data to mainwindow.cpp
        int can_id;
        int can_DT;
        int can_DN;
        int can_SN;
        int can_S;

        int can_SW;
        int can_PV;
        int can_OP;
        int can_M;
        int can_B;
    };

signals:
    void readingAvailable(struct valuesFromCanSensor candatasend);			// Signal which sends the data 

public slots:
    void can_tsp(QString cranT);
   

private:
    struct valuesFromCanSensor candata;		// initialize a new structure to save data into and send later on

};

#endif // TSP_H

Hi
ok thats odd. looks ok from quick look.
must test in compiler to know for sure

anyway, i say

void MainWindow::on_searchButton_clicked()
{
TSP tsp_run(this);
ui->Terminal_textEdit->appendPlainText("Start reading sensor");
tsp_run.can_tsp(ui->comboBox->currentText()); // Here I call the function can_tsp from the class TSP
connect(tsp_run,&TSP::readingAvailable,this,&MainWindow::tspVisualize); // Here I connected the signal readingAvailable to the visualization.
}

TSP tsp_run(this); << wont this be DELETED long before it can ever say readingAvailable ?
its deleted as soon as on_searchButton_clicked ends since its local stack variable.

TMJJ001

@mrjj

Hi,

When I run this, it runs completely without issue.
I get the outputs in the terminal by "qDebug();", So I think this is fine no?

mrjj

@TMJJ001
Ok, sounds ok then. Just looked fishy.
does tsp_run.can_tsp send the readingAvailable signal ?

TMJJ001

@mrjj

Hi,

When I send the signal within my class without I have no problems at all. When I try to connect in the mainwindow I get the previous error. Now I was playing a bit with the connect in the main function. When I did the following I get no error, but the SLOT also doesn't get called.

connect(&tsp_run,SIGNAL(readingAvailable(),this,SLOT(tspVisualize());

mrjj

@TMJJ001
main function = main.cpp ?
when using old syntax, you should check return value to see if it works.

qDebug() << "works:" << connect(&tsp_run,SIGNAL(readingAvailable(),this,SLOT(tspVisualize());

TMJJ001

@mrjj

Sorry in the mainwindow. NOT in the main!
Ok, When I do this I get "works:true". So this works.

But, In the function tspVisualize() I have written:

qDebug()<<"send to mainwindow";

This I don't see in the terminal. Damn what is happening.

Pablo J. Rogina

@TMJJ001 you may want to check this example

TMJJ001

@Pablo-J.-Rogina
Thanks for the time to make example code.
It didn't work straight away, this because I use qt4.8 and you the newer one probably.
So I changed your code to the older syntax to get it working.

I would like to thank you and all others for there help!
Again I learned a lot!

Thanks for helping!
