I can't get the stepper exerciser dialog to show up on the screen. When I select it from the menu, nothing happens in the GUI, at least the first time I try. On the console I see:
[java] Opening port /dev/ttyS0
[java] Stable Library
[java] =========================================
[java] Native lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7
[java] Java lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7
[java] Device at address 8 not present
[java] Device at address 3 not present
[java] Device at address 4 not present
My hardware is just the UCB and an X-axis stepper card. I guess it sees my board because it doesn't complain about address 2. It doesn't freeze, it just doesn't show the dialog. If I keep trying, it'll eventaully hang for a minute or so, then throw a can't-open-port type exception.
As best I can tell, my hardware is working:
$ echo 0 | ./poke -d 2 -t /dev/ttyS0 -v
<54><51><31><02><00><00>[54][52][30][00][02][bd][ACK Received]
The software is a clean install using the setup script on Linux, the only thing I changed was nullcartesian -> cartesian
So far I've tried with both java 1.6 and 1.5 and I get the same results. I do get this message when I start the host software, but I doubt it's relevant since the 3D views look good:
[java] JAVA 3D: OpenGL 1.2 detected; will run with reduced functionality
Any ideas? I'll be trying Java 1.4 this evening unless you've got any more intelligent suggestions.
