pw_console: Multi-purpose pluggable interactive console for dev & manufacturing

Pigweed Console supports extending the user interface with custom widgets. For example: Toolbars that display device information and provide buttons for interacting with the device.

Writing Plugins#

Creating new plugins has a few high level steps:

  1. Create a new Python class inheriting from either WindowPane or WindowPaneToolbar.

    • Optionally inherit from The PluginMixin class as well for running background tasks.

  2. Enable the plugin before pw_console startup by calling add_window_plugin, add_floating_window_plugin, add_top_toolbar or add_bottom_toolbar. See the Adding Plugins section of the Embedding Guide for an example.

  3. Run the console and enjoy!

    • Debugging Plugin behavior can be done by logging to a dedicated Python logger and viewing in-app. See Debugging Plugin Behavior below.

Background Tasks#

Plugins may need to have long running background tasks which could block or slow down the Pigweed Console user interface. For those situations use the PluginMixin class. Plugins can inherit from this and setup the callback that should be executed in the background.

class pw_console.plugin_mixin.PluginMixin#

Bases: object

Handles background task management in a Pigweed Console plugin.

Pigweed Console plugins can inherit from this class if they require running tasks in the background. This is important as any plugin code not in its own dedicated thread can potentially block the user interface

Example usage:

import logging
from pw_console.plugin_mixin import PluginMixin
from pw_console.widgets import WindowPaneToolbar

class AwesomeToolbar(WindowPaneToolbar, PluginMixin):
    TOOLBAR_HEIGHT = 1

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # Call parent class WindowPaneToolbar.__init__
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        # Set PluginMixin to execute
        # self._awesome_background_task every 10 seconds.
        self.plugin_init(
            plugin_callback=self._awesome_background_task,
            plugin_callback_frequency=10.0,
            plugin_logger_name='awesome_toolbar_plugin')

    # This function will be run in a separate thread every 10 seconds.
    def _awesome_background_task(self) -> bool:
        time.sleep(1)  # Do real work here.

        if self.new_data_processed:
            # If new data was processed, and the user interface
            # should be updated return True.

            # Log using self.plugin_logger for debugging.
            self.plugin_logger.debug('New data processed')

            # Return True to signal a UI redraw.
            return True

        # Returning False means no updates needed.
        return False
plugin_callback#

Callable that is run in a background thread.

plugin_callback_frequency#

Number of seconds to wait between executing plugin_callback.

plugin_logger#

logging instance for this plugin. Useful for debugging code running in a separate thread.

plugin_callback_future#

Future object for the plugin background task.

plugin_event_loop#

asyncio event loop running in the background thread.

plugin_enable_background_task#

If True, keep periodically running plugin_callback at the desired frequency. If False the background task will stop.

plugin_init(
plugin_callback: Callable[[...], bool] | None = None,
plugin_callback_frequency: float = 30.0,
plugin_logger_name: str | None = 'pw_console_plugins',
) → None#

Call this on __init__() to set plugin background task variables.

Parameters:

  • plugin_callback – Callable to run in a separate thread from the Pigweed Console UI. This function should return True if the UI should be redrawn after execution.

  • plugin_callback_frequency – Number of seconds to wait between executing plugin_callback.

  • plugin_logger_name – Unique name for this plugin’s Python logger. Useful for debugging code running in a separate thread.

plugin_start()#

Function used to start this plugin’s background thead and task.

Debugging Plugin Behavior#

If your plugin uses background threads for updating it can be difficult to see errors. Often, nothing will appear to be happening and exceptions may not be visible. When using PluginMixin you can specify a name for a Python logger to use with the plugin_logger_name keyword argument.

class AwesomeToolbar(WindowPaneToolbar, PluginMixin):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.update_count = 0

        self.plugin_init(
            plugin_callback=self._background_task,
            plugin_callback_frequency=1.0,
            plugin_logger_name='my_awesome_plugin',
        )

    def _background_task(self) -> bool:
        self.update_count += 1
        self.plugin_logger.debug('background_task_update_count: %s',
                                 self.update_count)
        return True

This will let you open up a new log window while the console is running to see what the plugin is doing. Open up the logger name provided above by clicking in the main menu: File > Open Logger > my_awesome_plugin.

Sample Plugins#

Pigweed Console will provide a few sample plugins to serve as templates for creating your own plugins. These are a work in progress at the moment and not available at this time.

Bandwidth Toolbar#

Tracks and logs the data sent and received over a serial transport like a socket or PySerial device. To use in a custom transport interface instantiate the SerialBandwidthTracker and call track_read_data on incoming data bytes and track_write_data on outoing data bytes.

Calculator#

This plugin is similar to the full-screen calculator.py example provided in prompt_toolkit. It’s a full window that can be moved around the user interface like other Pigweed Console window panes. An input prompt is displayed on the bottom of the window where the user can type in some math equation. When the enter key is pressed the input is processed and the result shown in the top half of the window.

Both input and output fields are prompt_toolkit TextArea objects which can have their own options like syntax highlighting.

The code is heavily commented and describes what each line is doing. See the Code Listing: calc_pane.py for the full source.

Clock#

The ClockPane is another WindowPane based plugin that displays a clock and some formatted text examples. It inherits from both WindowPane and PluginMixin.

This plugin makes use of PluginMixin to run a task a background thread that triggers UI re-draws. There are also two toolbar buttons to toggle view mode (between the clock and some sample text) and line wrapping. pressing the v key or mouse clicking on the View Mode button will toggle the view to show some formatted text samples:

Like the CalcPane example the code is heavily commented to guide plugin authors through developmenp. See the Code Listing: clock_pane.py below for the full source.

2048 Game#

This is a plugin that demonstrates more complex user interaction by playing a game of 2048.

Similar to the ClockPane the Twenty48Pane class inherits from PluginMixin to manage background tasks. With a few differences:

  • Uses FloatingWindowPane to create a floating window instead of a standard tiled window.

  • Implements the get_top_level_menus function to create a new [2048] menu in Pigweed Console’s own main menu bar.

  • Adds custom game keybindings which are set within the Twenty48Control class. That is the prompt_toolkit FormattedTextControl widget which receives keyboard input when the game is in focus.

The Twenty48Game class is separate from the user interface and handles managing the game state as well as printing the game board. The Twenty48Game.__pt_formatted_text__() function is responsible for drawing the game board using prompt_toolkit style and text tuples.
