benchpsu

A benchPSU calibration and controll application

install nodejs

set the npm mirror

npm config set registry https://registry.npm.taobao.org

###Problems with windows, node-gyp

refer to node-gyp Readme

FIRST of ALL, before install Visual Studio 2015, if using Windows 7, install Windows SDK 7.1(before this, you may need to install .Net Framework 4.0)

For 64-bit builds of node and native modules you will also need the Windows 7 64-bit SDK

install Visual Studio 2015 Community, with Visual C++ 2015, SDK

You may need to run one of the following commands if your build complains about WindowsSDKDir not being set, and you are sure you have already installed the SDK:

call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\Setenv.cmd" /Release /x86

or

call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\Setenv.cmd" /Release /x64

install python 2.7, set environment variable PYTHON to C:\Python27\python.exe, not to a folder C:\Python27\

Set the environment variable GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2015

Run the command prompt as Administrator

###Any problems about serialport(nodejs), refer to this issue

npm run clean (delete node_module in windows)

###Get react-dygraphs to local disk

#in the project folder, run:
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/funshine/react-dygraphs
cd react-dygraphs
npm install
cd ../benchpsu

###Install

#in the project folder, run:
npm install

###it may fail due to the bad network when download electron-prebuilt, you can run

cd ~/.electron
wget https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v1.2.0/electron-v1.2.0-darwin-x64.zip

rm ./node_module/serialport/build/Release/serialport.node

npm run rebuild-serialport

npm start

or use vscode debug

if electron path.txt not found

go to ./node_modules/electron-prebuilt/

cd node_modules/electron-prebuilt/
node install.js

note: if in windows 7, modify ./.vscode/launch.json

"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron",

with

"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron.cmd",

using node-usb

in windows, node-usb need VS2013 instead of VS2015 to compile. don't forget Set the environment variable GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2013
make sure install node the same version as electron use, for example, electron v1.2.0 use nodejs 6.1.0

Instead of using electron-rebuild (which couldn't get to work with node-usb's use of node-pre-gyp), use node-gyp directly:

$ npm install node-gyp --save-dev
First you need to change the variables property in the node_modules/usb/binding.gyp to include module_name and module_path:

  'variables': {
    'use_udev%': 1,
    'use_system_libusb%': 'false',
    'module_name': 'usb_bindings',
    'module_path': './src/binding'
  },
Then, rebuild with node-gyp:

$ cd node_modules/usb
$ ../.bin/node-gyp rebuild --target=1.2.0 --arch=x64 --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell

The --target flag for the last command specifies the version of electron you are building for and must be set accordingly.
You can get your version by typing the command electron -v.
