Early Firmware and EScribe Suite Discussion Thread

[James]

Thanks speed4mee. That is a good find. I've rebuilt it and no longer get that error.

So there's a newer version up. Also made Device Monitor remember the time scale while I was at it.

Thanks James

[speed4mee]

Thanks a lot, James

Another bug in the 8/5/2015 EScribe Version:



Sorry, it's German

If i activate debug with 7-click on Evolv Logo then all is ok.

[James]

Good find. Fixed. I updated the 2015-08-05 download.

[speed4mee]

Is it possible to show a live view from the screen of the display that isn't attached
This can be useful for testing a mod without an attached display or with a defective display.

My display is dead and so i wish a software screen for the missing display.

Just tried the new update, 2015-08-05 EScribe, 2015-07-29 R1 firmware.
It forced a new USB driver install that put EScribe into a "not responding" state.
Bricked my V200.  Closed everything through task manager and re-opened.
Using the tools menu, I forced the firmware upgrade and everything is up and running.
However, I lost all data and settings... like a factory reset!
BTW, running Win7 32bit

Sounds like you updated while the device was connected which is asking for trouble, but if you had saved your escribe settings you should be able to reload them like most software.  It is not "bricked" unless it never works again.

You are right, it was connected! Not doing that again

Regardless, it's working now.

I'll search the forum, but where are the settings saved?

VapingBad: What do you mean by while the device was connected? Normally it's connected when it suggests updating firmware. Or have you found that affects its success?

[laadam]

Hold up, doesn't the device need to be connected to update the firmware?

Or am I missing something...

Connected when updating the escribe executable not the fw, that's how I read it, but could be wrong.

Yes, EScribe was already updated.  The failed update was of the firmware.
Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry my bad, you know what they say about assumption, sometimes Windows is too slow assigning drivers and can do it if it is a known device just on a different port.

Windows can sure be wonky that way... Since I'm a Mac user, had to dig out an old netbook of mine to run the software so that just adds to the slowness.  I wanted to run it natively and not through parallels or bootcamp.

Hey James, John, or Brandon,
     For "beta testing" purposes for us that are installing the early software updates from this thread, would you prefer we do an "update" installation by just running the new exe installer, or would you rather us do a "clean install" and uninstall the old program from Windows before installing the new one?

I haven't even had a problem to report yet, but I've had developers prefer both ways, and I've just been installing on top of the old one. I want to test how it helps you guys most though.

[speed4mee]

I've had no problem to install over an existing version under Windows 7  

[John]

It shouldn't matter either way. 

[James]

Hello sammao,

What are you clicking that gives that error?

Thanks

James

This may sound too simple, but have you tested removing escribe and reinstalling as admin? I had a similar error after installing the 8/6 rc over the previous version.

[Swiftroot]

I'm having trouble where my device isn't being detected at all with the USB. Hana v200 On 7/29 software and firmware Any ideas or what I should do?

[speed4mee]

Which operating system do you use?
Can your USB cable provide data transfer?  

[John]

There are a lot of micro USB cables that are charge only. That'd be the first thing I would try. USB had to work at Hana for them to load the newest firmware onto the device, and had to work here to get through the programming and test cycle (though that tests the board, not the connector), so the board has talked to a computer at least twice in its life before it gets to you.
