Title: Sample PixInsight module
Post by: Juan Conejero on 2009 April 20 14:12:23

Hi all,

I have written a sample PixInsight module. It is just the C++ source code for the "skeleton" of a module implementing a process and an interface with five process parameters of various types. This module is an ideal starting point for PixInsight/PCL module development. It's here:

http://pteam.pixinsight.com/Sample.zip

For now, the zip file has makefiles for Linux generated with Eclipse. I'll update it with a Visual C++ 2008 project and makefiles for Mac OS X.

Enjoy!

We love you guy ;). Let's see if this new attack vector works better for me.

OK, I was able to compile the sample. PI doesn't like it very much when I click on the module after it has been found by the import process. An error dialog pops up. As long as I don't click on it and simply press 'import' the module appears.

I guess now I'll try to figure out how to debug a module. In other words how do I break on a module line when PI calls it.

Oh, that's cool. You can attach VC++ to PixInsight and put break points in your code. I had to add a lot of break points before I finally hit one but the important thing is that it works.

Hello,

where can I find the sample module? The link gives an 404 error.

It's was SandBox. Look PCL package in distribution.

Thank you! After renaming the classes and the returned module name it compiles and runs within PI.
