    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.

      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

          ~TSP();
      	
      	struct valuesFromCanSensor{		// Set structure to send data to mainwindow.cpp
              int can_id;
              int can_DT;

              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

        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
        {

        public:

        public slots:

        }
        
        MainWindow::~MainWindow()
        {
            delete ui;
        }
        void MainWindow::on_searchButton_clicked()
        {

            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));

        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.

          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?

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

              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());

                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());

                  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.

                      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!
