How to instal a working Python27 on Windows 10
Per Rose
I get the images placed on the client or my Synology NAS as I want them to.
I saw that you Jean-Luc, have installed winPyton, and that is bad, I tried it, and nothing worked.
I have made this guide for installing Pyton27, including all necessary subprogram on Windows 10, in order to get the Client/Server software to work correctly.
As I am still in the learning curve with Github, I have temporarely placed the necessesary downloads on my WEB-Server.
Joe, you may, if you want to, include this guide on your own Github.
1. Even if you are having Windows 10 64Bit, use 32Bit install for ALL
2. Install Pyton27, download it here www.tordenvejr.nu/8mm/python-2.7.14.msi
3. Enter Windows CMD mode
4. Go to the Python27/scripts directory (C:\python27\scripts)
5. Write “pip install -U numpy”
6. Numpy should now be installed
7. Install PyQt4 download it here www.tordenvejr.nu/8mm/PyQt4-4.11.4-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.7-x32.exe
8. Go to the Python27/scripts directory (C:\python27\scripts)
9. Write “pip install matplotlib”
10. Download www.tordenvejr.nu/8mm/opencv-3.3.0-vc14.exe
11. Execute the exe file
12. Now go to this tutorial on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWoStqsCs6o
13. Copy Joe’s Client PY files to your local drive (any place)
14. Open Idle
15. Open the fcClient.py
16. Start the Server software on the Raspberry PI
17. Run the fcClient.py from Idle
Voila – It works. (I expect)
If you have any problems with my tutorial, do not hesitate to forward me the problem.

Jean-Luc, I have copyed your answer below
Hello Per
I’ve received your answer, sorry for the delay (I’m in France).
Thank you for your help !
I would like to use Joe’s software but but there are some problems.
At first, I’ve strictly followed your instructions.
What happens now :
SERVER ON RASPBERRY PI 3 (RASPBIAN STRETCH, PYTHON 2.7.13)
On start, program halt just after debug infos « Start » then « MotorDriverInit » with a window « Kill ? » OK/Cancel options.
Why this event ?
If I continue, program is waiting connection.
CLIENT ON DESKTOP PC WIN 10 + IDLE PYTHON 2.7.13
Program runs, and I can display preview, adjust camera settings, no problem.
I can ask the motor to advance, go back, faster…
But when I try to run Capture, the first picture is taken, and no more…
Weird things :
Light command does not function correctly (was ok in precedent release)
I can’t change picture resolution, stripped pictures obtained (not a problem, but was ok in precedent release)
I don’t understand…
Thank you again
Regards
Jean-Luc

I am actually situated in Denmark, so we are on same time-zone ;-) - But sometimes I stay up late, as I am on pension, so I do not need to get early up.
I have actually NOT tried the whole Client/Server yet, as my first issue was to see if the connections worked, which it as far as I could see, it does.
Over the next days/week, I am mounting the Stepmoter, in order to get it to work in the Projector. This will give me some more experience with how it works further.
The issue you describe with only getting 1 frame saved - matches my test without the Stepmotor.
It could look like an issue with your read switch, It looks to me like you do not get the next step, from closing the Read Switch, to get the stepmotor running for a new frame.
As I have to change the program in order to get it to work with Gears in stead of the Read Switch, I will look for an eventual explanation to your problem.
Btw. I get another message, when not having any stepmotor on, it says something like, now it is time to initiate the motors.
I think your problem lies in the first error message, which when you continue, kills the process that control the rotation.
As you say that you can manual forward and rewind the stepmotor, via the client, this shows you have contact to the stepmotors.
Check you Read Switch wiring.
I return when I get into my setup of the stepmotors.

Per

I have it with LINUX, like you have it with Windows.
I have been working in the Windows environment for more than 20 years, but only with LINUX in connection with Raspberry PI :-), so whenever I work with the Raspberry - Google is my friend.
