I just put together one of my Spoke POV kits (that mux ordered).
When I install the batteries, the LEDs flash in sequence, and the reset button appears to work.
I've downloaded the software, and upon the initial run of spokepov.exe I got a missing .DLL error
MSVCR71.DLL
I found that and threw it in my System32 folder, and the program appeared to start correctly.
I was able to import a bitmap, but when I hit the 'write' button, nothing happened. Nothing appeared in the status bar. Hitting 'Exit' brought up a window saying to check the log file. Here's what it has to say:
Any ideas?Traceback (most recent call last):
File "SpokePOV.py", line 858, in OnWriteButton
File "SpokePOV.py", line 89, in __init__
File "parallel\parallelwin32.pyc", line 74, in __init__
WindowsError: exception: priviledged instruction
I tried on another XP machine, and had to again install MSVCR71.DLL, but that time it didn't even generate a .LOG file.
I've successfully programmed other Atmel chips on my work PC, so I might have to just try it there tomorrow.
Thanks,
Lyle
