ANNIN ROBOTICS

The program now loads up for me. It will be a while until I can test it with the hardware, but I'll let you know if there are any issues. Thanks!

Adding the timeout of 1 second worked for me. It runs 4 functions after this, each which do a serial read and then time out, so there is a 4 second pause before the program loads. This runs fine when I do a build from sublime text editor. I can't compile yet, I have some python path issues after installing python from the windows app store =/

I know what is going on, at least in my case. I do not have any hardware at all yet. I only just ordered the parts kit last week. What freezes the program up is that it does a few ser.read() commands during startup, but there is no hardware to read from. If I comment out the serial reads on startup, it loads up quick. I was not aware the software wasn't meant to be run without any hardware attached. Maybe we could implement a timeout if there is no response?

I have spent all day trying to figure this out. I then got a bit desperate and just started commenting out little bits of code to see if something would change. With serial commented out the software loads right up. I know this isn't a solution but letting you know in case it helps. I'll look in to this further as well.

Anyone figure this out? I can't get the software to run on my main Windows 11 PC. I tried installing ttkthemese, pyserial, numpy and then pysintaller to make an executable, but I get an error when I try to run it. " File "AR4.py", line 75, in <module> File "tkinter\__init__.py", line 2109, in wm_iconbitmap _tkinter.TclError: bitmap "AR.ico" not defined" I may have just compiled something wrong. The downloaded pre-compiled version does the same for me as what is shown in the picture of the first post.
