The Software drives me crazy

[dc37]

I usually end up using the command line for Git, since the Windows UI likes to do a bunch of things in the background that I don't explicitly tell it to do. But, it's a larger learning curve...
I'll try to help out where I can, if and when this effort gets off the ground

I highly recommend taking 15 minutes and going through this tutorial: https://try.github.io/levels/1/challenges/1

This will help you understand the distributed nature of Git. Once you understand this, branching, pulling, pushing, forking and pull requests make a whole lot more sense.

The core concept is, at it's heart, very simple. Everyone has their own copy of the repository (even Github) and no one of them is the "real", "right", "master" or anything else. The way that you move code between them is with pull requests and those are as simple as saying "Here's some changes I'd like you to have."

I've been using Git for 5+ years now and I can count on one hand how many times I've had to use any of it's advanced features. My daily work consists almost entirely of branch, commit, pull, push.

Maybe we can do that next week, I must take a rest from this, the next days I do not have time for it.

Jason, is that you?

Welcome to the LitePlacer forums and thanks for advocating git.

I believe the LitePlacer developer community could learn quite a bit from you and your projects.

I'm very sorry that I haven't been able to give you the experience you deserve.

For any crashes and other issues, I'd like to know the details. Of course, I'll fix any crash that I can reproduce and make my best effort to fix also those that I can't.

(There has been several cases on camera handling that worked for me but not for all customers. Some customers have been very helpful in sharing details and donating their time and effort on diagnostics; thank you! I haven't heard about these problems with the latest release, so hopefully those are past now. If not, I'll sigh and try more.)

Hello Juku,

I am working on getting my Liteplacer up and running. However, I run into an error when trying to save the CAD data after adding fiducial information manually. The error image is enclosed. Thanks for the good work on the machine. Keep improving the SW.

Thats what I mean: Just a simple check before you write data to give the user a message, that a field needs to be filled with a value.
Otherwise: Crash. Some try..excepts would make things more fluid.

In today's quick release adding a row fills in the values. The error recovery still needs work.
