Runs very slow on Windows 10.

Can you describe which exact command you are using? Is it naive Python on Python in WSL? I never used this on Windows, but I can try and see what is happening.

@JesseB0rn Can you try again? I made some changes for spikejsonrpc tool to work faster for me under WSL (now it matches my Linux results which is still slower than the cp.py).

what is the requirements/instructions to run on Windows 10? I would like to try it out.

nutki commented 4 years ago

@ws1088 This is a guide from MS how to use Python on Windows: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/python/beginners I have WSL Ubuntu installed on my Windows machine so this is what I used. I've used USB connection to the hub which showed up in the device manager as 'COM7' so in WSL this mapped to /dev/ttyS7. I guess when using the native Windows Python, the device name (-t parameter value) should be just COM7 in such case.

@ws1088 @JesseB0rn I got it to work with Python 3.8 from the Microsoft Store with the following (in PowerShell):

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
python spikejsonrpc.py -t COM7 fwinfo

Copy speed is similar to WSL and native Linux.
