Issue with TSL1401 (line scan camera) monitor program

Kevin McCarthy

Hi. I just purchased the Mobo 2p/2pe, along with a line scan camera (TSL1401-DB). It looks really slick, and I am itching to start it up. I downloaded the LoadAVR program, and successfully uploaded the TSL1401DB01.hex hex file. I also downloaded the "TSL1401_monitor.exe" Windows program, but when I try to run this, I see a window flash briefly and then disappear. Could anyone suggest what I need to do to get this monitor program to run? My OS is Windows 7; the monitor program did not specify which versions of Windows it supports. Thank you.

Kevin, it turns out the executable we have on our website is out of date. We're working to get the updated version online and I will post here once it is ready. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Kevin,

The monitor program you downloaded from the TSL1401-DB product page (v1.2) is not the current version. Parallax has promised me they would upload the current version (v1.4) soon. In the meantime I have attached that version here. Please let me know whether it solves the problem you are having.

Thanks,
-Phil

Phil: That worked like a charm; thanks so much, both for the prompt support, and for having written such a cool program in the first place!! The TSL1401CL is a really cool device, and I can't wait to put it to work!

It's been updated on our website as well, FYI.
