Can't connect DSO2D15

[piudeferro]

I have installed OpenHantek following the steps from GitHub, libraries and so on, but when I open the program it cannot connect to the oscilloscope because it is not one of the ones listed in the program. I have tried the unsupported tab and it does detect it but it returns the error that it is not implemented.

Please check #277!

Do you mean that there is no support and since there is no maintainer, the case related to openhantek is closed?

Who should work on this issue? You could do what I did. Some years ago I bought a Hantek 6022BE because it had linux support by openhantek. When the maintainer stopped his support I forked my project OpenHantek6022, removed all other HW related code (because I cannot develop for HW that is not available at my desk) and implemented the changes I wanted to have.

Could I ask you for a little help? I've never programmed or developed code or implemented, but I don't think it's very difficult either. A short time ago I started arduino projects with my son, and I have read that there are programs that modify windows dll's to be used in devices that do not have linux drivers. If I could do it, once the path was done, I would repeat it for the power supply and for the bench multimeter. I have done tests with Bottles and with Wine, and I almost had to reinstall openSUSE because it had so many changes that I couldn't start the pc. I've been using linux for years but I've never developed or implemented anything, so with a little bit of your help showing me the way I think I'll get it. Still, thank you very much for your attention.

• This is not a professional advice but just a comment from a user.

• Try connecting USB of your device "AFTER" starting the application for auto detection. I've had issue getting my 6022BE deteccted on windows machine but after a few attempts of "plugging and unplugging" the applications was able to auto detect my device. Hope this works for you.

I have read that there are programs that modify windows dll's to be used in devices that do not have linux drivers.

There are two types of windows driver, the 1st type just associates an USB device with a low level driver, that allows the HW access while the 2nd type implements the API and does the real communication. On a Linux machine you typically allow the access with udev rules, do the low level communication with libusb and implement the API in the application. As a starting point for your development, I could recommend looking at sigrok to see if they already have efforts for support for this device. Otherwise you have to decode the protocol yourself. For the general procedure, I can recommend a very informative video in which (although for a completely different HW) the USB communication is analysed step by step: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ0Mfuj0KUQ
