start.py error in windows 7 32bits about ardublockly HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi Rubens,

I'm unable to replicate this issue in windows 7 32 bit running on a virtual machine. Could you give me a bit more info about your python instillation?
Where does the RESTART message come from? are you running the python interpreter inside some IDE (like visual studio)? What COM ports are available in your computer? (you can use the Arduino IDE to check that)

Hi Carlos,

I will try to answer some of these questions tomorow, because i don't have acces to that machine now. I'm working with ArduBlockly in two machines with windows 7 64bits and I had no problem like that. I used the same procedure in all machines: I Installed python 2.7.8, after that I downloaded ArduBlockly and closure-library from github, unziped this into my users directory (I have admin rights in all these machines) and run start.py.

Thank you.

Rubens.

Hi Carlos,

The only COM port avaiable in the machine is COM1 (that's what the arduino IDE shows me)

I will describe what did i do to workaround (i dont know if that is the write word to "escape the problem for now")

I changed the "string buffer" in "list_ports_windows.py" to this:

def string(buffer):
s = []
return ''.join(s)

I Know that this doesn't solve the problem, but I can go on with my work for now in this machine.

Thanks.

Hi Carlos.

I "asked" the program to print each "c in buffer", using this line command:

    print (chr(c & 0xff))

And that's what o got:

I was finally able to get around to look into this, thank you for all the information provided. Could you check if the latest commit to master fixes this issue for you?

from ardublockly.

There has been some changes in the python code that might (hopefully not) affect your testing.
I'd recommend to check commit 452fafd first in case master gives you an unrelated problem.

You can download the code directly from this link (however, the closure library submodule will be empty and needs to be added if you want to test it properly), or if you are using git you can do:

git fetch origin
git checkout 452fafd161655ba91adae155a1d0a11f62abec29 

from ardublockly.

This should be fixed from commit caeac62, however I will wait until more testing can be done before I close the issue.

Since we've moved to use Python 3 for the executables this should no longer be an issue. Please do let me know if you still encounter this using Python 2.
