I am fairly new to making a GUI. I designed one for a project that I would like to have LCDs update as the data comes in from the Arduino. I am using pyqt5 to convert my Qtdesigner GUI. The trouble is I do not know how to link the incoming data to the GUI.
Currently I have a program that gathers all of the data I would like and it opens up the display that was created by Qtdesigner. In the picture I have attached the LCD that is selected is called: lcdNumber_4 in the object name.
