I'm writing some simulation software (railway) and am trying to add user control (via USB controller) instead of the automatic control. The problem I am having is sending data from the USB controller to the solver. I have my program running with several threads (GUI, solver, controller). I am able to read the controller settings (via pywinusb) and send those as a signal to the parent GUI thread. How do I also send this data so it can be read in the solver without interrupting the integration loop? The only option I can think of is writing to a file and checking it every integration step but I am hoping for something less crude. Thanks Continue reading...
