Positron Studio Update version 2.0.2.4

[okmn]

i have same error now after instal 2.025 (2.0.24 was good to me )

[tumbleweed]

After installing v2.0.2.5 I get those errors when opening Positron Studio.

First the error with the ini file, then the access violation and Positron Studio is hanging being able to close it only through the Task Manager.

Same here. Had to go back to 2.0.2.4

If it helps any, with 2.0.2.5 there are also no 'Preconfigured Programmers' shown in the 'Tools | Configure Programmers' window.

Oh dear -- it is really not my day or yours.
Can you send me copies of your ini files please.

Oh dear -- it is really not my day or yours.
Can you send me copies of your ini files please.

I couldn't find any *.ini files in the specified folder:
C:\Users\MY_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Positron Studio

*MY_USER_NAME = My Windows user name

Strangely, with v.2.0.2.4 I don't find it either, but the programmers are listed when you check the Tools menu.

[tumbleweed]

On my system, the only ini file I can find is C:\ProgramData\Positron Studio\PositronStudio.ini

With 2025, I think the programmer listing being empty is probably a result of the exception.

[tumbleweed]

Does PositronStudio attempt to change the file associations for *.bas files?

Could just be a coincidence, but something changed it on my system.

On my W7 machine the INI file is in C:\programdata\positron studio\

You might have to enable viewing hidden folders to reveal the programdata folder

this was my INI yesterday when Studio crashed.

PositronStudio - Copy.txt

2.0.2.5 hasn't changed yesterdays INI or created a new one and studio is now looking for C:\users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Positron Studio\programmerEX.ini

Right - I have got to the bottom of the preconfigured programmers issue. In the installation script I have forgotten to add the ProgrammerEx.ini file.  ProgrammerEx is an additional ini file in which you can store your favourite programmer configs.  This is appended to the original programmer.ini file which gets installed with the Compiler update. I have added in 4 preconfigured files for PickKit plus programmers.

Regarding start-up, I see the @See_Mos compiler being used is not version 4.0.0.0 because the default compiler is set to 2.
That means that I am calling PrPlus.exe not Loader.exe.  I am assuming you have version 4 compiler installed.

On Startup I get the current Compiler path and database path from the ini file.
I first see if Loader.exe exists, if it doesn't look for PrPlus.exe.  I look in both ProtonIDE directory and Positron Compilers directory (which I understand will be Les's final location for the compilers).
Rather than pushing out yet another update, Could one of you guys with the start-up issue send me their email address and I will send a link to a new install.  If that works successfully I will update the website.

I've sent you an e-mail (to support@positronstudio.co.uk) with the PositronStudio.ini file, you can reply to it.

Hi John,

You have my email already.

with the crash Bullguard also removed loader.exe so that explains why the path to ProtonIDE\PDS\ was not accepted.  I restored V4.0.0.1 of the compiler earlier today.

[JohnB]

I have now replaced the download file on the PositronStudio website. 
It should now install without a problem.

It is normal that the fuses configurator don't auto-detect the fuses settings on listing ?
Also missing a "f" on "default fuse" message.

[See_Mos]

OK, so now I am having fun (?) with the programmer setup.

After setting up Pickit Plus (5v) and attempting to program the first thing is that the HEX file is not being opened in PicKit Plus.  The messages area at the bottom of Studio window appears to be showing the correct information.

If the PP window is closed then going back to Studio is OK but if PP is still open then Studio whites out and crashes,  if PP is then closed after a second or two Studio comes back to life.

When adding a second preconfigured PP (3.3v) the path is truncated to just the PickitPlus.EXE file so this produces an error message.

I have installed v2.0.2.5 on two computers both running Windows 10. My home computer works fine apart from the manual's link's don't work.
On my work computer i get the access violation and Positron Studio hangs, have to use task manager to close it.

[JohnB]

A bit more of a clue as to your work computer would be helpful because there has to be a difference between the environments the application sees in each case.

Hello John,
In the tab showing the number of the datasheet in use I would find it simpler/less confusing if it just said "Datasheet". It will always be for the device in use.
At present I'm looking at 40001412G for the 18F25K22.
Latest build is working nicely.
