pyDarts first run

Please first plug your board in the USB port. Please also check that you've installed the Arduino Driver and everything eventually required by the source code package (if you use the source code)

Then, when you run pyDarts for the first time, the software will try to detect a suitable serial port.

You'll need to find it by yourself!

First, let pyDarts create the default config file :

• launch pydarts and press enter to bypass the calibration process
• when you reach the menu, it means that the config file has been created
• exit pyDarts (escape)

On Microsoft Windows : open your device manager, navigate to the Arduino device, and look at the name of the COM port (it could be COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.)

Open your pydarts.cfg config file, it should be located at :

c:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\.pydarts

(of course change YOUR USER NAME by yours!)

Open this file, change the “serialport:false” to “serialport:COMx” where “COMx” is the port name you found above.

Save file and exit. Restart pyDarts with –forcecalibration option to calibrate your board again.

Please select proper port and calibrate your board.
