I am trying to run the software from GitHub and don't have a clue as to where to get started with all the various files. Can you give me an outline of the various steps to running your software?
SDK for instance, does running it install all other required modules?
I installed the latest version of Python on my windows machine, and can get your GUI to run, it recognizes the com port, but will not connect, after that I am lost.
The other files, do they run along with the original dobot software, or replace it entirely? Thanks. |

Anyone tested this lately on the latest version of python (3.7.0) running on Windows 10?

I can get Open Dobot Gui to load. I uploaded the Arduino INO file to the mega, and it shows com4 on the dobot gui, but it won't connect. Not sure where I am going wrong. Or how to test what exactly isn't right.
I tried uploading the oem dobot hex file to my mega board using the dobot software, and it did something but ended with "Receivemessage time out" over and over again. Not sure if this was even necessary for the opendobot gui to work with the ino file. Is there a difference between your Arduino hex file and the oem one?
When it comes to the Arduino, it would appear there are two steps to setting it up, please correct me if I am wrong:
1) upload the hex file 2) upload the ino file
Is it the same INO and HEX files for all application you have developed? Do I need to do both?
Also, I am confused as to where in the software development series the support for ramps ends?
Still wondering if all the other open dobot software, such as Open Dobot 1.3.0 is mean to be a bridge between the OEM Dobot GUI and the dobot, or if it in some way is stand alone?
When I run Dobot's OEM "Dobot Application 1.1.1", it seems to connect with my mega, but of course nothing happens with the dobot and ramps.
I can't understand what the hierarchy is of the open dobot python files? Is one a master file? Which one's do I load?
Sure hope someone comes back to this board. You have done so much great work, but as a beginner, I can't make heads or tails of it.

I can upload to my Arduino the hex file that you have on your GitHub, but the oem hex file from dobot doesn't upload for some reason.
Is the hex needed? I'm wondering if it is simply a hex version of the ino, thus making it one or the other needed, but not both. |

Once I get SDK working, what does it do? How do I control dobot using it?
