Infrastructure for GUI

[AxelF75]

Maybe a rookie question; are there special requirements for running the vwflashGUI ?

Or is there any document, how to setup windows for running the GUI?

Thanks!

The easiest thing is to just download the premade binaries from a release, like https://github.com/bri3d/VW_Flash/releases/tag/v0.2.8 .

If you want to run natively from source, you need Python 3.9 32-bit, and pip3 install -r requirements.txt . Then python3 VW_Flash_GUI.py should work. Nothing special to it compared to another Python application.

• Python 3.10 isn't supported yet because wxpython doesn't build with Python 3.10. This is due to be fixed shortly in the next wxpython release
• 64-bit Python doesn't work with 32-bit J2534 DLLs, which almost all are. If you want to use only serial or Bluetooth (A0), 64-bit Python is OK.
