Building Papywizard

PostPosted: Fri Apr 27, 2018 9:51 am

HI everyone,

I have a Skywatcher AZ Goto Mount and it keeps failing at random intervals when shooting - So I suspect something is either wrong with RS232 cable I am using or PapyWizard doesn't work well under Win10 x64. I have tried Win10 32 and 64 bit versions, countless driver settings etc. From what I can tell the error occurs because of a communication problem where PapyWizard is expecting a value to on the Y-Axis to be returned yet it gets a null back - at which point an undefined exception occurs.

So i have decided to try to build Papywizard from source. I have set up Python 2.6 and 2.7 environments and installed all the required packages that I believe I need and checked that each environment matches the python version etc for the required modules.

I have download the latest source from Github and also the source from 2 previous commits - Running PapyWizard on either 2.6 / 2.7 and either source versions I have downloaded gives the following error:

Does anyone have any idea where the problem is? It must be my Python2.6 config. I am an experience software developer (PL/SQL / C#, PHP ) but never used Python until 48 hrs ago.

TIA

Update on this - I have got PapyWizard to run - however none of the windows open when you try to configure preferences work nor does it connect to my Skywatcher mount. My initial problem seems to be have caused by an existing installation of Papywizard and if I removed the plugins directory it created running from source seemed to work.

I'm still stuck building papywizard :(

I've built it in python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 on Windows 10 and Windows 2003 server. Got it to run and build using py2exe but each time exactly the same thing. The main window opens but non of the windows open nor does the ui seem to work, but the buttons are click able etc..

The logs don't show any exceptions, they just stop :(

I've included what I think are all the correct dlls for the appropriate version of python.

I'm now compiling pyqt4. 7.3 to see if that works rather than Pyt4.9.x that are prebuilt built binaries.

Is there anyone can help me out?

OK - I finally got a PapyWizard v2.1.21 to build using :

PY26 and PYQT4.5.4

However none but the connect menus work. There seems to be an issue with the version of PYQT and Papywizard on windows where the PYQT activated() event doesn't work. The solution I found was to re code everything to use the clicked() event handler and it all works now. It's a bodge but it works for me

Any how, the reason why I want to build Papywizard is when doing timelapses the Papywizard UI either occasionally showed 'FAILED' or got stuck on showing 'MOVING'. Which was really no good and made this great software impossible to use.

So out of 20 test timelapses all but 1 failed. Each timelapse had about 400 control points. It would fail anywhere at the start, middle, near the end. I replaced my USB serial cable and leads with decent quality cables and exactly the same errors.

So here's an example log of a fail :

You will see - the line - 2018-05-11 10:46:20,790::Shooting::INFO::DMA-Got Answer-MerlinOrionHardware.__sendCmd(): c='\x00'


this is the cause of the failures. As I understand my Sky Watcher AllView mount occasionally returns a null/empty in the middle of return the output from a set command. It seems to get this every 1 in every 200-400 command sent.

So I added the following line in the file merlinorionhardware.py


if c != '\x00':
answer += c

e.g.
cmd = ":%s%d%s\r" % (cmd, self._axis, param)
Logger().info("DMA-MerlinOrionHardware.__sendCmd(): axis %d cmd=%s" % (self._axis, repr(cmd)))
for nbTry in xrange(self._nbRetry):
try:
answer = ""
self._driver.empty()
self._driver.write(cmd)
c = ''
while c not in ('=', '!'):
c = self._driver.read(1)
Logger().info("DMA-MerlinOrionHardware.__sendCmd(): c=%s" % repr(c))
if c == '!':
c = self._driver.read(1) # Get error code
raise IOError("Error in command %s (err=%s)" % (repr(cmd), c))
answer = ""
while True:
c = self._driver.read(1)
Logger().info("DMA-Got Answer-MerlinOrionHardware.__sendCmd(): c=%s" % repr(c))
if c == '\r':
break

if c != '\x00':
answer += c

except IOError:
Logger().exception("MerlinOrionHardware.__sendCmd")
Logger().warning("MerlinOrionHardware.__sendCmd(): axis %d can't sent command %s. Retrying..." % (self._axis, repr(cmd)))
else:
break


This basically removes the null / empty string in the output. It could cause other problems though, but my gut feeling is it wont.

I have tested my fix over 30 times now and not one 'FAILED' or 'MOVING' message. I have forwarded this fix to the developer of Papywizard in a hope that he will consider this as a much needed fix.

In the meantime I have built my own binary for windows, it's not been tested in the field - but should work - it works on all the testing I've done so far. Anyone is welcome to a copy.
