ETK LUA Help

[j_love]

Hello everyone,

I am new to this forum. Thanks for creating this nice forum and all the stuff here.

I do have a problem creating lua scripts with the ETK Framework.

I am using the Student Software to simulate the scripts.
Can someone just tell me on howto implement the ETK Framework.
Basically I just want to test the following:

Code: Tout sélectionner

do
    local Input  = etk.Widgets.Input
    local Label  = etk.Widgets.Label
    local Button = etk.Widgets.Button

    local myView = etk.View()


    local btn1,inp2
    local btn1 = Button{}
    local inp2 = Input{}
    btn1.position = Position { top='31px',left='235px'  }
    inp2.position = Position { top='31px',left='22px'  }

    myView:addChildren(btn1,inp2)

    etk.RootScreen:pushScreen(myView)
end

When copy pasting this I do get the following error:
2: attempt to index global 'etk' (a nil value)

I also tried copying the etk and extras folder to the Documents/CX folder in Windows. Tried also to transfer the ETK files to my handheld but this does not work.
So how can I just start coding with ETK framework?

Thank you everyone.

Best Wishes

Hello,

I assume you're talking about the ETK version from here: https://github.com/TI-Planet/ETK

In which case, it has a build system and extended syntax that you "have to" use, in order for it to do all the heavy lifting of requiring/including the lib's files.

The end result would be the concatenation (among other things) of the files together. You can look at the demo.tns file that's the built version.

(Note: for the previous version of ETK, which some utilities use, look at formulapro for instance: https://github.com/adriweb/EEPro-for-Ns ... llcode.lua and its repo)

To "convert" from Lua to TNS, you can use Luna (recommanded) or the nspire computer software

Hi Adriweb,

thanks four your help.
I was not aware that I have to execute the build.lua script. After doing that it worked.
The build.lua script copies all the imports to a big.*.lua file which then can be copied into the script manager in the student software.

Thank you!
