openxc-dump is working but openxc-dashboard not working emulator 7.0.0

[Gopalakrishnan R.]

Hi,

I have installed vi-emulator-firmware-FORDBOARD-ctv7.0.0.bin in Ford VI, i am able to get the version through USB cable, but with some additional error, even tried with 7.0.1 as well.

Here is some additional message, please help me to solve the issue (my PC windows 8)

>openxc-control version

Can't read logs from data source -- stopping: ("USB device couldn't be read", US

BError(None, 'libusb0-dll:err [_usb_reap_async] timeout error\n'))

Device is running version 7.0.0 (default)

Exception in thread Thread-1 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown):

Just want to add an additional info

Hi,

This is the problem: 

ImportError: No module named _curses

The curses package is not installed in Python 2.7 on Win 8. See this issue:
