Latest WIN10 update version 2014
Re: Latest WIN10 update version 2014
BTW - nice one on fixing the motor boating issue
Re: Latest WIN10 update version 2014
I think the motorboating was partially being caused by the overclocking. But when I set the correct clock speed, the audio stopped working altogether and I had to modify/rewrite the whole DMR audio pipleline.
I didnt write all the original code, Kai DG4KLU did, but since he stopped work on the project 18 months ago, I've had to slowly re-write a lot of his original code, and there isn't much of his original code remaining.
The audio pipeline needs more work, but its going OK for now.
Re: Latest WIN10 update version 2014
I have a work-around fix for this, by sleeping the thread for 1 millisecond after each block of data is sent to the radio by the CPS, but it slows down the transfers a lot.
I think I'll need to release this as a temporary fix, until I can work out why I'm getting these timeout errors with the threading and comms.

Re: Latest WIN10 update version 2014
I've done a temporary fix by adding some 1 millisecond delays while waiting for the USB serial comms, which seems to have fixed the problem with the CPS with the latest firmware and the latest Windows 10 update.
Windows 7 does not seem to have these problems.
See
https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... 1.02.15.01
This has caused all the transfers to run a lot slower, and I will need to do a major rewrite the communications to the OpenGD77 firmware, to increase the speed back to where it was prior to this Windows 10 update

Re: Latest WIN10 update version 2014
ok - all fixed at my end.
yep its slower but it works and I have other radios (big brand) which are slower still.
Thanks

Re: Latest WIN10 update version 2014
The recent Windows update seems to be affecting drivers. Before this update all of my cps software from various radios worked fine. As to OpenGD77CPSP, the driver will not install properly. Here is the odd thing, if I do a clean installation of the current CPS (remove and reininstall) the command prompt window for the driver just sits there and hangs. My radio isn't detected by the computer properly. (meaning it doesn't show up as a device under the device manager as a COMM device) Oddly enough if I start the CPS and read the radio, it will do just that. As for using the OpenGD77 support tools, if I attempt to backup the MCU or EEPROM, it does not work, nor does it allow you to select the radio under a COM port. In fact, I have nothing under COM ports related to this radio.
Luckily my spare computer is just a test bench, so I think perhaps I will install an older version of Windows 10 on it later today and see if that helps. Most of the major Windows 10 updates in the last 10 months have been a nightmare for most people, their NEW secure driver system is absolute rubbish. I've had to do acrobatics just to use basic devices not related to Radios.
If anyone wants to chime in on my situation, please do so, it will save me an several hours of Windows re-installation

Re: Latest WIN10 update version 2014
I re-installed onto my Windows 10 pro machine, and I noticed that the driver installer did seem to hang
But since the driver was already installed, I just hit control C and aborted the install and it didnt seem to have done anything nasty to the existing driver installation.
I did contemplate setting the driver installation checkbox in the installer to Not Checked, so that anyone who was doing a re-installation would not by default try to re-install the driver.
I have another machine with a clean install of Windows 10, but not the standard "Home" version
But I will try installing the CPS on that machine to see if it will accept the driver, but it probably is nothing like the consumer windows version that most people are using

Re: Latest WIN10 update version 2014
OK.
Did an install onto a clean machine, and the driver worked OK.
I then did a re-install, and that did again work.
But I think it depends on the exact version of Windows, and potentially re-installation of the driver, which is unnecessary, may hang on some versions of windows 10

Re: Latest WIN10 update version 2014
I tried disabling the windows driver signing feature with no luck as shown here. I am sure there is more to it. I did notice that once the radio showed up as MCU DRIVER DEMO, which was odd.

Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042
I am currently installing Windows 10 Pro 2004 onto my spare computer as I speak, I will report back and see if the latest OpenGD77CPS (and driver) installs without issue.
