Software does not start

[M W]

Hello there,

I had to update my lab computer to Windows 10 and so I had to install everything new.
Unfortunately the PGfocus software in Windows 7 was not installed by myself, so I don't know if I did something wrong.
The PGfocus.exe does not start but it is still possible to control the device with serial commands.
I just downloaded the software and tried to start the .exe file in the folder application.windows32.
There is no reaction. Did I miss a step?

Thanks and best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,

The best bet is to download Processing from https://processing.org/download/  load the pgFocus source into it (which is here: https://github.com/kbellve/pgFocus-software/blob/master/pgFocus.pde), and then have the Processing IDE export it again as an exe. Also, you should be able to run it directly from the Processing IDE.

I think the kiwi.png is needed as well. https://github.com/kbellve/pgFocus-software/tree/master/data

Ngā mihi,

Thank You very much, Karl.

I added the G4P library in Processing and I run it.
Now the pgFocus GUI opens and shows all commands as usual and I can select the correct Serial Port.
But it deos not react when I press a button.
I can still control the device with serial commands using Putty or Python.
Directly after running the sketch the console in Processing shows the following error:

Error, disabling serialEvent() for COM7
null
#### Unable to create data logger ####

The COM Port is correct, I am sure.
All other software, I used to control the device were switched off.

By the way, the GUI shows the firmware 0.000.

Best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,

There maybe some incompatibilities with the latest Processing (+Win 10) and the way I originally wrote the Serial port code. I will look into it further.
