Novastar MCTRL300 basic control software

Code can be found at the Github repository. Builds/executables are not available but if anyone has use for them, I’d happily create one for you… What? Simple, basic control of brightness and test patterns/mode for the Novastar MCTRL300 (and possibly others, but I don’t have others to test). It does not allow you to configure your screen. It can be used during testing or (I can imagine) to give just this piece of software to a client to let him dim the screen when no technician is available.

Setting up Visual Studio Code for Python development (on Linux)

Update January 2024: I don’t use many of the separate tools for linting/refactoring/formatting anymore in favour of Ruff. Configuration for Ruff has moved is done in my pyproject.toml template I’m still using AutoDocString to ease docstring creation and MyPy for type checking. Introduction The following is a brief guide to reinstalling/setting up Visual Studio Code (VSC) on a new Linux system. The main use is Python development. As such, it is very brief and mostly for my own documentation.
