DLP3010EVM-LC: Python Interface without GUI - Environment setup

user6500007

Part Number: DLP3010EVM-LC
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLPC3478

Hello,

In our application, we need Python Interface to automate the product.

I really like "Scripting" option in "DLP Pico Display and Light Control" for DLPC3478 / DLP3010EVM-LC. Everything works as expected, however:

When I tried to run the python scripts outside the GUI app, it ends up with errors. Is there any trick how to use the python scripts without TI GUI application to communicate with DLP?

I'm using windows machine and we really do not want to use the GUI app.

I have tried running DLPDLC/Scripts/StandaloneScript/SampleScript/dlpc347x/Test347x_OperatingMode_Standalone.py, but ran into import errors.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

Welcome to the TI E2E forums and thanks for showing interest in the DLP technology.

Unfortunately the query you have asked here is out of the scope of our expertise.

Just to the let you know - The EVM can also be controlled using an API if you do not want to use the GUI. Kindly refer to the following link for more information regarding the API - https://www.ti.com/tool/DLPC-API

Thanks for your answer. Though, API is C-exclusive, isn't it? Thus Python implementation yields substantial problems.

I was just wondering, cause in the GUI everything works relatively easy.

Yes, the API is C exclusive.
