Hardware Issues

[pcwatkins]

Hi,

Is anyone still supporting this software?

I have just upgraded our OpenSprints hub to an Arduino Uno board and loaded the latest firmware. I initially tested this and the software loaded and I could start a race on my Dell laptop. However when I went to try and use the software on a Surface Pro or another Lenovo laptop, it wouldn't start the race.

In the Putty window:
On my Dell laptop, I see the blank cursor, and then g+enter triggers the race start countdown
On the Surface Pro/Lenovo laptops, I see ER or ERROR followed by the cursor/random ascii characters. g+enter would sometimes start the counter though

Whilst running the software on my Dell laptop, it would also randomly crash and require a restart.

Are there any suggestions for fixing this or making it more stable?

Are there any propriety software solutions out there that are still supported?

Cheers,

Peter
