Finally I can continue with my project Thanks man!
I can't install this version, the program said that "a new version of this program is already installed" stress
I don't have that problem. Always uninstall your old version, and reboot, before installing the new one, don't install over the existing one, that's called dirty install and sometime can cause problems.
This is the first time it happen to me, all the older versions installed just fine.
Same thing happened to me. I completely Uninstalled first, then it installed fine.
;)
Thank you for the continuous updates @DJ
I am noticing strange little glitches that might be related to my main project file, is there a way to generate a list of settings and scripting from a project that can be printed, in order to make it easier to rebuild from scratch?
And I have discovered two issues in this latest release:
A) In server/client mode, any servo release command on the client side actually sets the server connected servo to go to 100
B) When loading any saved project onto a PC that has a different (smaller) screen resolution and lots of controls that fill the screen, there seems to be a forced auto arrange (even if that feature is turned off). Totally messes up any prior control panel arrangement. I have not seen this happen before and I am constantly cross-loading projects between all my computers.
Thanks,
Gunner
