1.7 connects fine but dev versions do nothing on "Start"

Post by LemaLife »

Hey all, running a Quadrino board on my quad (witespy quad from the rcgroups) and I'm trying to load some of the dev versions to see if I can get better mag performance, etc. is there any magic to getting one of the 1.8 versions of the GUI working? My system reads the quad fine using 1.7 but as soon as I try to put one of the dev versions it will recognize the quad but pressing Start doesn't result in reading of the cycles, it just sits there. I can see the lights blinking on the board but the cycles remain at 0 the whole time and pressing "Read" doesn't put any value on the GUI.

Thanks!

From what I have experienced you need to load 1.8 dev into the board in order to use the V1.8 GUI. So if you have V1.7 in your board you will need the 1.7 GUI.

Uploading new sketch files requires the Arduino IDE application. The whole Arduino enchilada is found here:
