My application will allow a user to control some hardware (for example some motors). I have some code written in python that handles the comms and other aspects of hardware control, and there's a well defined interface for controlling them and reading back the status etc. I've also now got a QML interface for displaying status screens and allowing a user to move the motors.
What I need is some way of joining the 2 things up, so that the current motor status is displayed in the UI, and when buttons are pressed these events are sent through to the hardware control. I was under the impression that something like PySide is a python wrapper for the Qt modules and would allow me to create a QDeclarativeView for presenting the UI, and then some signals and slots for connecting things up. Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way?
