Re: Client Suite 3.0

Thanks, Sebyte. I think I see the issue. The Listener service validates that the internal memory locations from the controller match up with a defined set that the Client expects to see. This makes sure that we're displaying the correct values in the correct places on the Memory tab and also updatin...

Re: Client Suite 3.0

I have installed the suite and it works well except for when I try to access the memory settings. Then I get the error message "Unable to retrieve controller memory settings. Refer to log for more details." So the error looks like the controller is returning fewer memory location/value pa...

Re: Notifications

Every 15 seconds ;) You do need a gmail account/password to proxy the notification through with the Client, though. I dont think any one method is better than the other so long as you receive the notification. You could even setup both for redundancy. If you don't have a WiFi adapter then the Client...

Well this release was a very long time coming - sorry for the delay guys.

The host process for the gadgets is called "sidebar.exe". You should be able to just kill the process in task manager. When you add a new gadget to the desktop it will automatically restart the sidebar.exe host process for you. Quicker than restarting :)

Nice job on the new RAGen and write up. Your explanations were very thorough. I have to say though, I'm not a fan of the new Internal Memory form at all. The old way in my opinion had it right. Now it seems very cumbersome to modify the memory values, especially if you're changing more than 1. A lot...

Re: Serial port 'COM5' already in use.

The client itself doesn't lock the port, rather it's the ReefAngel Listener service that you mentioned, StuGotz that locks the port. There's a built in timer to the service that when it ticks, the service will attempt to open the COM port and communicate indefinitely. So long as that service is runn...
