You uploaded your first configuration file in your Arduino controler ? Wants to test your wirings and your soldering ? Open the Arduino software. Click on “Tools” > “Serial Monitor” like the following picture :

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 :

Delete pyDarts config file and then launch from a terminal (“cmd” in MS windows) :

pydarts --debuglevel=1

When the “board calibration” screen appear, hit a segment, and see what is the output on the terminal.

Note that there is a file named KNOWN_ISSUES in the pydarts package that summarize all the problems already encountered by any of us.

Please post a message on the 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 !
