Mouse remote no longer works since upgrade

[rickd]

Not sure why but Mouse remote no longer works since upgrade.

Added latest Winluaex plug and latest mouseremote.ini and it will not initialise the mouse or remote get following error when I run the script for enabling it


error: attempt to concat global `SerialValue' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
1: main of string "?" at line 7

if I comment that out get this one

error: attempt to call global `TIMER_CreateObject' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
1: main of string "?" at line 89

Can you tell me what's happening ?


This all could be red herring as the receiver light no longer flashes so no signal is being recieved my snap strem sees the command on channel 9 however so it something I've done wondering if comport is not active as I have been loading other comport software and wondering if port has been taken even though have removed that software.

stack traceback:

This is caused by the fact that the SerialValue variable is only valid when the serial plugin invokes this routine.

Instead of pressing the green arrow on the LUA editor window: on the MouseRemote settings page, change the serial port and press apply. This will cause the serial plugin to re-run the enable script with the proper variables defined.

This is caused by the TIMER_CreateObject() function not being registered. This could be caused by the WinLUAEx.dll file being missing or corrupted or the WinLUAEx plugin not being enabled or ???

Still no go can get port and mouse receiver to flash have reinstalled girder and the Winluaex plug and it's not working the light flashes on the receiver now but the mouseremote events are not getting to girder.

If I comment out the first 10 or so lines that cause the first error I still get the second it's like the Winluaex.dll is not registered corrently how do I fix that?

If the thing is blinking, an intialization routine has completed. I don't know if it is the one from the Serial plugin or a different piece of software.

Is the receiver being detected by Windows as a serial mouse? Have you looked in the Windows device manager?

[rickd]

I can only get it to initalise manually by reiniting or changing port nothing in mouse device why is this ....tried to install netremote did not work removed it so not sure if that effected things

[rickd]

It is like winluaex is not there run scripts with play and they fail on those commands ...can get it to flash the mouse but windows does notr see it and girder sees no commands.....if I initialise from stand up it does not even flash have to change port from com 4 to 3 to get light flashing.

Snapstrem sees commands from remote mouse remote on channel 9 so know remote is ok.

It has to be setup issue or a reg. issue though have reinstalled but not cleanly.

Also if I press F9 and then try to re-enable girder hangs and have to kill it and restart it so there is something wrong.

Everything else is fine also have replaced winluaex file v1.0.12 is the one I am using

bump any clues shall i email registry?

[Mark F]

My only suggestion is to down;oad the WinLUAEx on the Sourceforge.net site instead of the one with the install wrapper.

Here is the link (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/girderplugins/WinLUAEx.1.0.12.2.zip?download)

Pull the plugin .dll file out of this .zip file into the girder\plugins directory and try this again. I'm sorry but I cannot recreate this problem.

[rickd]

ok already tried this no good i think wil try my other partition but it seems to have happened since I tired to load Netremote which failed it like winlua ex is not registered

[rickd]

I simply replaced Winluaex on girde 3.3.9b with old version 1.0.2.1 and 3.10 of serial plugin and it now is all stable and operating again.

So the latest version and serial plugin 3.20 seem to have issues on my system

Not sure why but this work around issue it may have been since 3.3.9b upgrade this issue was introduced.

Thoughts? :-?

I just started using my MouseRemote again, and had to re-figure out the solution to this problem. See the following post where Mark figured out the problem already:
