GUI-related bug in the utility about astroeq HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi,

The utility isn't meant to be maximised, nor does it need to be. It's really not designed to be resized other than vertically. So the workaround is simply don't maximise the window.

It was written in a hurry some years ago to get away from having to use command line and excel spreadsheets for the configuration. Moreover it was intended for Windows, and then essentially tweaked and patched to get it to run natively on Linux. All of the code is in fact Java, it's just using processing libraries.

The whole thing is not well written and could use a complete overhaul, but given that it does what it needs to do which is to get the configuration on to the controller, it isn't worth the time it would take to completely redesign it.

The source is available, so you are more than welcome to have a go at building a better GUI (bearing in mind whatever is made must be compatible with Windows), and I can provide guidance as to the lower level parts if needed.

Kind Regards,
Tom.

Thanks for your reply!
By the way, can the firmware be run on an Arduino Due instead of Mega 2560 without modifications?

No, the Arduino Due is an entirely different architecture (ARM), and in no way supported. It would require a massive amount of low level assembly rewrite to support it.

OK, thanks again. I'll close this report.
