Hi Open to offers of fixed price or hourly, Honestly..no idea what level of work is involved but if it goes well would have further work in the future. I strongly prefer someone UK based since a face to face meeting would be more productive that lots of emails and still not getting out requirement over correctly. Also if you like the sound of the project but think we are going totally the wrong way about it...open to suggestions..I just need to get this project moving. We require application for controlling an existing display system. We wish to automate a process that is currently done manually, i.e. reading certain values, entering info into the displays control program and pressing 'send to display' at the correct time. There is not a 100% rigid requirement to use a specific language but with such a vast number of options, we currently have a preference for Python as we hope to develop some lightweight python skill in house and thus make little changes as we need. Python 3 preferred as this will hopefully gain more support in the future. I would like to produce a modular and structured final program so that we can re-use sections of code in other projects and also make it easier to understand the code when small making changes. Basic Overview We operate on a private office network. The source data will be from a program outputting over DDE, a network data-stream into an SQLite database and direct user input. On a specific trigger event, a set of values will be sent to a specific IP on the network. The existing display system will show the information. Data Sources for the project. DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange). We still use this old data exchange protocol. A telemetry/telematics program runs in the background (it receives information from a vehicle) and allows other programs to request values from it using DDE. For example, we use Excel to call values from this program. =(TELEM|Realtime!”Laptime”) From what I can tell..this could be the tricky bit since I have not found many examples of DDE and Python and certainly not in Python 3. It may be easier to write in older version of Python and have as a standalone program that passes data to the main program??? SQLite An external provider (Al Kamel) supplies a data stream of all LIVE timing data to our network We would like a simple SQLite database that receives the data stream and makes the data available to various other programs...which include this one. I anticipate this being a standalone application on its own ?? Data Output to the Display Hardware. This part of the project requires the program to send a control string to the display over the network. This control string tells the display what and how to display our info. Its a fairly simple control string from what I have seen but have to get hold of the full document. User GUI - Front End A simple screen to allow input of 4 short text strings and various other user options. Not looking for stunning graphics..just functional and clean. User GUI – Behind the scenes Be able to tweak the values retrieved by the DDE and SQL aspects of the system. Conclusion The program will wrap all these features up, combined with a bit of simple logic. I am pulling together information on various aspect of the received datastream and can get the telemetry program to output pre-recorded data for testing the DDE. If you think you can help, I'm drawing up some more details of what we would like to see GUI layout wise and some of the basic logic applied to the data. Thanks for looking, John.

Hello. I am currently based in Ireland and if you find it important to met face to face i could do that for one day. I have done a little research on what you need and it seems you may be able to do this using python 3 and the native interfaces. We can discuss this further based on the more detailed specs of the functions of the project once you have them. Cheers, Arthur

Specifically, in the last 5 years I am developing and maintaining a large scale Django application used by many Israeli farmers and their clients. Your project sounds very interesting. Even though I'm not UK based, I'm sure we can communicate well over telephone/Skype and I will get all the necessary details right. Also I am willing to guide you and your staff on Python programming. (The system didn't let me enter a hourly price, but my preferred bid is 20 GBP per hour) Regards, Amir
