Reading higher frequency data in thread and plotting graph in real-time with Tkinter

问题


In the last couple of weeks, I've been trying to make an application that can read EEG data from OpenBCI Cyton (@250Hz) and plot a graph in 'real-time'. What seems to work better here are threads. I applied the tips I found here 1 to communicate the thread with Tkinter, but the application still doesn't work (gives me the error RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object). Maybe I'm doing something wrong because I'm trying to use multiple .py files? See below the main parts of my code and a few more comments in context:

    print(f'Sucessfully streamed in {round(finish-start,3)}s!')

threadLock = threading.Lock()
dataqueue = queue.Queue()
stopcollecting = 0
kounter = []
flag = queue.Queue() #secondary queue for flags not used at the moment
flag.put(0)
thread1 = myThread("Thread-1", dataqueue,flag)
samples,timestamps = [],[]
show_samples, show_timestamps = [],[]

As I found here 2, a function should not call itself, but it's basically what here 1 does. Also, I don't think I'm calling root.mainloop() multiple times like done in here 3.

After executing, python gives me the following error/output:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):

    with self.mutex:
RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object
Exit flag on

This means the thread is being successfully executed, apparently, but the plotSamples() is crashing.

Any advice??


回答1:


after() (similar to button's command= and bind()) needs function's name without () and without argument - it is called callback - and after sends it to mainloop and mainloop later uses () to run it.

You use function with ()

 app.root.after(60, plotSamples(flag,app,kounter))

so it runs it at once (it doesn't send it to mainloop) and this function runs at once again the same function which runs at once the same function, etc. - so you create recursion.

It works like

 result = plotSamples(flag,app,kounter) # run at once
 app.root.after(60, result)

If you have to use function with arguments then you can do

 app.root.after(60, plotSamples, flag, app, kounter)

Eventually you can use lambda to create function without argument

 app.root.after(60, lambda:plotSamples(flag,app,kounter) )
