Hi All,
Just a quick question.
What App(s) are each of you using to develop the code for the app?
I tried opening the "flash411" project files in MS Visual Studio 2010 and it says it need a NEWER version.
SO, I am unable to try to build the app.
I really wanted to check it out.
Mike

Does anyone have a link to the webpage where I can purchase an Allpro USB Adapter?
I've had no luck finding it.
Thanks.

However, I'll repost it for you here.

I'm using the "Community Edition" of Visual Studio 2017. It's free.

NSFW,
Thanks for that information. I just happened to run across that link earlier this evening. Will need to take a laptop to my friends house in order to download it! DON'T think I want to use my cellphone data for that.
Good to know it will work for this project. BTW, did you install the C++ Version or another one as there seems to be several option(other than downloading the FULL app package).

So at the bottom of that page are 2 fields for using Paypal: $Amount & Notes.
So just enter the $AU amount equal to $35US and enter into the notes what it is that I'm paying for and my address details?
Is this what everyone else has done to purchase their adapters?
Thanks.

It was a while ago when i bought mine. I would expect that link to take you in to paypay to confirm and you should be able to select USD. So i'd start at 35 and make sure its USD and take it from there. Note that it doesnt mention post costs either. Finally ask if it ships with firmware 1.17 for 4x vpw, incase he has older stock. Let us know how you go!
For compilation you need C# and its .net v4.6.x i think from memory and it uses newer features of .net so cant be compiled or run with older visual studio/.net versions.

I'm assuming you're talking about the compilation of the github firmware project?
I stopped coding years ago and don't have visual studio. Hell, I don't even have any Windows PCs at present. Everything I own that has to have an OS now runs Linux.
I'm happy to set up a VM for Windows (probably Win7), but that still leaves me short as I don't have visual studio.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry no, that comment was for MudDuck514 whos trying to compile the app. You dont need to compile the firmware but if you want to anyway follow the instructions on obddiag.net and use NXP MCUXpresso. Im running Linux here, windows in a VM for visual studio. In practice though the app is not useful yet, compilation is for developers. I think we will do periodic binary releases which you can run when it starts doing things people can use.
