Distribution just doesnt work

[HBL001]

Hi @Zanith @KyleLopin

I took the latest version of the MASTER branch, and did a slight change to it.

• the references to the non-existing files taken out of the workspace,
• the board configuration as changed to a CY8C5868AXI-LP035 - its a bit slower but this project is for pre-project, pre-grant investigative research so I have no budget (even $20 means no lunch 👎 ) but I do have a CY8CKIT-050 kit.
• the pins shuffled around in creator so we can use the breakout board part of the CY8CKIT-050 to mount my electrochemical cell onto.

Programming device 'PSoC 5LP CY8C5868AXI-LP035' with file 'C:\Users\User\Dropbox\67 PSOC\PSoC-Potentiostat\Amperometry_v059_2.cydsn\CortexM3\ARM_GCC_541\Debug\Amperometry_v059_2.hex'. Device ID Check Erasing... Programming of Flash Starting... Protecting... Verify Checksum... Finished Programming Device 'PSoC 5LP CY8C5868AXI-LP035' was successfully programmed at 08/19/2024 13:43:15.

So that worked, so excitedly I "switched ends" and loaded up the GUI software

And sure enough the front end reports no connection, and looking in the log

So working backwards, the USB is registered and the driver is installed

I take it back. It does work. The problem was that I followed the instructions to install the USB port driver because I was having problems with the latest firmware giving me errors. After I had fixed the errors in the latest commit, I had just uninstalled the Zadig USB drivers but Windows just reinstalled them again. So I worked out which drivers they were and deleted the *.inf files so when the board was plugged in again, it reverted back to

The other thing was where to run the exe.file. I tried just running it where it was installed, but that just threw lots of errors complaining about lost files. I had cloned the repo, so I copied the executable from the dist directory back into the main directory where the settings files are kept.

Now everything ran perfectly, now to go and make a silver-silver chloride reference with a silver wire.

Plus a quick trip to supermarket to get some OJ.
