    Hi again Joel. Thanks for recording how you got wxGTK installed! My Pi died and I finally got a replacement however the new Pi just will not work with the old Pi's SD card, and despite having a backup card, I have had to reload auroramon again because of some differences in the operating system / Pi hardware since my original install a few years ago - apparently it's a common problem with replacement Pis, but it has caught me out. A real pain. The steps in your post worked and both wxGTK and auroramon...

    Aight so. Raspberry Pi 4 with Debian Bullseye, had to go on a bit of a tour back in time to wrangle this one. Thought it was going to be simple, at first i tried adding wheezy packages to apt installking libwxgtk2.8 compiling auroramon This DID NOT, work, i ended up running into issues where my lib was built with a c++ version too different than auroramon How i wrangled it sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev - Required for wxGTK to build installed wxGTK as per the above posters instructions, but also...

    Joel, what an straightforward fix - something I had completely overlooked doing. Getting old. My default font had been set at 16 for some reason. 10 works perfectly. At last I can see all the data presented as it should be. Many thanks!

  • Joel Falknau Joel Falknau posted a comment on discussion General Discussion

    I believe this is the relationship between the desktop environment font and size and the application. in raspbian buster, its Preferences > Appearance Settings > System > Font I stuck with the default here and dialed the font size down to 10 from 12. https://i.imgur.com/iKzq5XQ.png no overlapping text!

  • Alastair Leitch Alastair Leitch posted a comment on discussion General Discussion

    Well done, its satisfying when you find a solution that works. Do you by any chance know of a way to overcome the overlapping text problem ? (see examples attached). If so, could you please let me know how you did it ?

    The attached outlines steps i used for setting up wxWidgets with Visual Studio (2019 in my case) to enable updating and recompile of AuroraMon to create a Windows executable application. The core steps are taken from this guide https://rhyous.wordpress.com/2009/12/16/how-to-compile-a-wxwidgets-application-in-visual-studio-2008/. Full acknowledgement to Rhyous.com for this guide. It helped me a lot. Other sources that aided me in achieving this set up with MSVS2019 and wxWidgets are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRhoZcNpMb4...

    Hi, has any one tried to compile (make) the source code in to a windows executable? If so got any instructions to share on how to do this? Assuming you’d use Visual Studio, then create a new C++ desktop project, importing the existing .cpp files and configure to use the existing MAKE file. However to me, and c++ isn’t where I have much programming experience, and that MAKE file looks to be more for linux, not so much for windows. Thanks in advance. Neil

    Thanks very much for your assistance. I will do the clean out and reload the files you spoke of. I have been at it all day and now i believe i have the other program up just testing it now. I like the one you are using so i'll keep trying. Your Pi is which one, mine is Pi4 running Buster from an SSD

    I remember getting similar GTK messages when I installed the wrong version to the wrong folder. I'm assuming you followed the download path for wxWidgets that I posted above. I selected the 'wxGTK 13MB' option (wxGTK-2.8.12.tar.gz) for the 'Previous Stable Release: 2.8.12' and extracted it into the folder I pasted in previous post. It worked for me, albeit with various warnings. I'm also assuming the errors you are getting with the 'make' command are when you are trying to compile auroramon from...

    To get the widgets installed I did the following. I could not get the version 3.0.5 to work with Auroramon. I unzipped the version 2.8.12 into the following folder: /home/pi/wxGTK-2.8.12 In a terminal I entered: cd /home/pi/wxGTK-2.8.12 ./configure And, from memory, that built the wxwidgets library. Hope that works, good luck

    my issue is i now can't get ether of the monitor programs working. I upgraded my Pi4 to USB boot and had to do a clean install to get it to work. Losing the set up I had for aurora-1.9.4 been unable to find the instructions i followed to install it the first time . Very sure this will just be a rookie mistake but I'm unable to solve my issues. i downloaded the wxWidgets file but i can't get the install instructions to work. (install-gtk.txt).

    Update on my original query first. I generated a new API code from PVOutput and that solved the 'PVOutput.org update failed: Protocol error', no idea why, the original key was correctly pasted. The program is now communicating with PVOutput.org nicely : ) In response to D Borresen’s question. The download on your post is actually for a different program to the one discussed in this post, Sourceforge Aurora Monitor v 1.07 (http://auroramonitor.sourceforge.net/).

    Possibly a long shot given the age of the program and inverter. I've just loaded and got Auroramon running on a Pi4. The program is communicating with the inverter ok however I have not been able to upload my solar data to PVOutput.org. I've been through the setup on both Auroramon and PVOutput several times and can't spot where I'm messing up. The error I get is 'PVOutput.org update failed: Protocol error'.

I would like to have full option and full control...

  • Jasper Jasper posted a comment on discussion General Discussion

    Nope, sorry. I just installed the wxGTK 2.8 libraries package from an earlier distribution, then the original build worked again. When the package manager complained that I could not have the two library packages installed side by side, I just removed the 2.8 package -- but kept the actual files. This is working at the moment but there may very well be problems in the future.
