-Hi folks. You are here maybe because you are very close to the goal... but you experience problem.
+**Hi folks**. You are here maybe because you are very close to the goal... but you are experiencing problems.
-Do not give up ! Here are some help to debug your configuration.
+**Do not give up!** Here is some help to debug your configuration.
-Sorry for Windows users, debugging is only available for Linux users for now. Install GNU/Linux, it's free as in free beer ;), and you'll be free as in freedom !
+====== I want to request some help ! ======
-====== Debugging Arduino ======
+:!: always use the latest development version when requesting help on the forum. To get it, please check using pyDarts from source for [[pydarts_on_gnu-linux|on linux]] or [[pydarts_on_microsoft_windows|Windows]].
-You uploaded your first config file in your arduino ? Wants to understand a bit more ?
+Take a look at the common issues downyard.
-Install "cu" :
-Debian based :
-<code>apt-get install cu</code>
-Launch cu to listen to your USB Serial port :
+Please post a message on the [[https://sourceforge.net/p/pydarts/discussion/|sourceforge]] discussion channel. Please give minimal information to help the community debugging
-<code>cu -l /dev/ttyACM0 -s 9600</code>
-Now if you hit a portion of your board, or if you use a paper clip on your arduino to join two inputs, some symbols should appear on your screen. That works !
+  * your exact pyDarts version (displayed when you launch the software, or when when you downloaded it)
+  * the output of the terminal running pyDarts with option "--debuglevel=1"
+  * your configuration (Arduino type, Raspberry if relevant, etc)
+  * a good description of your issue
-Kill cu from another terminal with :
-<code>killall cu</code>
-====== Debugging your pydarts config file ======
+====== Debugging Arduino ======
-If you want to debug pyDarts and your configuration file, particularly the "SectionKeys", launch your pydDarts from console :
+You uploaded your configuration file to your Arduino controller? Want to test your wiring and your soldering?
+Open the Arduino software. Click on "**Tools**" > "**Serial Monitor**" like the following picture :\\
+{{::arduino_serial_monitor_01.png?nolink&400|}}
-Delete pyDarts config file and then launch :
+Hit a segment of your board, or **create a contact** with two pins of your Arduino (use a paper clip on your arduino, for example). Something should appear on the screen like the following picture :\\
-<code>pydarts --debuglevel=1</code>
+{{::arduino_serial_monitor_02.png?nolink&400|}}
-Hit parts of your dart board, and if something appear on your screen, you're done !
+====== pyDarts first run ======
-====== Debugging pydarts software ======
+It's possible that pyDarts cannot detect your com port and that calibration fails. Please have a look to the special page [[pydarts_first_run|pyDarts first run]]
-With version v0.9 and above :
+====== Debugging your pydarts software ======
+Delete pyDarts [[pydarts_config_file|config file]] and then launch from a terminal ("cmd" in MS windows) :
 <code>pydarts --debuglevel=1</code>
-or
-<code>pydarts --help</code>
-Note that there is a file named KNOWN_ISSUES in the pydarts package that summarize all the problems already encountered by any of us.
-====== My issue is still there ! ======
+When the "board calibration" screen appears, hit a segment, and see what outputs on the terminal.
+Note: There is a file named KNOWN_ISSUES in the pydarts package that summarize all the problems already encountered by any of us.
+====== pyDarts won't run ======
+If your pyDarts software won't start, that's probably because you use a x32 system (processor with a 32 bits architecture). pyDarts binary can only run on a x64 architecture. If you really need to use a x32 system, like on a Raspberry Pi, please use pyDarts from source code.
-Please post a message on the [[https://sourceforge.net/p/pydarts/discussion/|sourceforge]] discussion channel. Please give minimal information to help the community debugging :
-  * your pyDarts version (displayed when you launch the soft, or when when you downloaded it)
-  * the output of pydarts with option "--debuglevel=1"
-  * your configuration (Arduino type, Raspberry if relevant, etc)
-  * a good description of your issue
 Enjoy !
