The pyCCDGUI has received a lot of love this weekend. I'm most proud of moving the serial port handling  to a separate thread, so the GUI remains responsive during long integrations, but the most interesting new feature is probably the "live-view".

Ok, so it's not super lively with the nucleo F401 which can only transmit at a frame-rate slightly higher than 1 Hz (because of the slow UART-connection to the ST-link), but with the STM32F103 where there's real USB, the pyCCDGUI can now read the TCD1304 and update the plot at up to 9,5 Hz.

There's also a few other new things (filehandling, a flashy new progressbar, compensation for shift register imbalance and few updates to the help-section). Check it out for yourself. Files are available at tcd1304.wordpress.com

Here's a screenshot for the impatient:

I've not yet updated the firmware for the STM32F405 to support continuous output, so I cannot yet report the frame-rate with this mcu.
