I am having the exact same problem. I have no idea what's wrong.. From what I get, it looks like it's missing the spokepov.py files or something, but I'm new to this and have no idea what's doing what yet.


Someone help us out please?

I just found something else out.

I'm using a different computer (without a serial or parallel port) and it's working fine.

I think it has to to with some windows service packs or something. I really don't know.

Aslo. Versio 1.0 works on the computer I am having problems with 1.2 on.

Someone help us out.

Good. Thank you very much for the support.

I can wait a while. Do you have a rough idea when I can expect this software to be out?

Ladyada, I'm just checking in with you to see how that software fix is going.


I hate to bug, but I'm getting really antsy to go out and show the town what I think of it, on my bicycle.

Thanks.

ok i finally got a day off
try this out, tell me what happens :)
its not 'released' but it was tested a bunch with different ports and images, etc.
the port testing feature 'works' but doesnt fail well, so it will just stop without giving more details, ill try to get to that soon

windows only, both parallel and serial ports
