Hi everyone,

as some will already know i am learning to code with python and Qt. I have to admit it has been a bit of hard work over the last few days, but today i seem to have mini break throughs

My idea may have already been used, but please bear-in mind that i am learning and each of these little things i am finding useful

My idea is/was a healthcheck app for the N900.
Ignoring the random bits in screenshots that make no sense, i hope you can see what i am aiming to do.

The first screenshot shows:

• The accelerometer read out (Does it work?)
• A static image taken from the front camera (Again, even though bad quality, does it work?)

The second image shows the readout from the terminal command dpkg -l.
I'm still to do an awful lot of work - and i know the layout is painful (But very finger friendly - ), the positioning was done by hand today on the n900 - so just guessed at the positioning numbers

Anyway - will use this thread to update people as i go. Havn't done a usual announce thread directly - as well, i'm not sure it will be of use to anyone?

Further pages will hopefully show -

• Lists of applications installed (Maybe ability to uninstall, not sure yet!)
• List of repos enabled/disabled
• System info, such as maemo version and rootfs space free
• Possibly the ability to run commands such as apt-get clean etc.

Any comments and help would be very much appreciated - will post the code once i have tidied it up. (I have no previous proper knowledge of any of this stuff, just a bit of vb/asp/ada and sql knowledge! - so the coding is awful at the moment, and i havn't labeled things correctly! will do when i get time and near my pc!)


The code depends on having gstreamer installed (And i've read that the x-term code i used probably wasn't right, but works, so will leave it for now.). Happy to post the .py file if anyone fancies venturing into the unknown with me

On a final note, coding on the n900 may not be the easiest thing in the world, but wow it works well!!!
