MultiwiiConf 32 on Ubuntu 64 bit ?

[lucamacs]

Hello,
I have done a search but I did not found the answer.
I do not know if it is possible but I would like to use MultiwiiConf on Mint 12 64 bit or Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit.
I'm a newbie for Linux O.S. so I wonder if there is a trick to have working MultiwiiConf 32 on a 64 bit O.S. .
I have already install Arduino software for 64 bit.

It's possible, but you can't use the pre-compiled 32bit binary, you need to run it from inside of Processing. I'm actually using it myself on Ubuntu Linux. You just need to download and install Processing and the ControlP5 library using the following commands:

Code: Select all

$ cd ~/Downloads/
$ wget http://processing.googlecode.com/files/processing-1.5.1-linux.tgz
$ wget http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/controlP5/download/controlP5.zip

Now extract Processing into e.g. /usr/local and create a sketch folder for Processing, e.g. $HOME/Desktop/Processing. In there, create a folder named "libraries", into which you extract the content of the ControlP5 archive:

Code: Select all

$ sudo tar zxvf ~/Downloads/processing-1.5.1-linux.tgz -C /usr/local
$ mkdir -p ~/Desktop/Processing/libraries
$ unzip ~/Downloads/controlP5.zip -d ~/Desktop/Processing/libraries

Next you need to get the MultiWii source archive and extract the MultiWiiConf sketch folder into the processing sketch directory:

Code: Select all

$ wget http://multiwii.googlecode.com/files/MultiWii_1_9.zip
$ unzip ~/Downloads/MultiWii_1_9.zip MultiWiiConf_1_9/MultiWiiConf_1_9.pde -d ~/Desktop/Processing/

Now start Processing by calling /usr/local/processing-1.5.1/processing. During the first run, it will ask you to select or create a new folder for your sketches, just point it to the folder you've created before (~/Desktop/Processing). The Processing IDE will start up now (and you'll notice it's quite similar to the Arduino IDE). Clicking on "File -> Sketchbook->MultiWiiConf_1_9" will open the sketch for the MultiWiiConf GUI. Now click on "Sketch->Run" (or the small triangle icon on the left of the icon bar) and the MultiWiiConf GUI should start up.

You need a newer version of the ControlP5 library: http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/controlP ... -0.7.5.zip

a feedback on this
I did exactly what you said ... not working for 1.9 2.0
but it WORKs for dev.
interesting
