Problem: Compiling lasershark with Cygwin64
Posted: Sat Jun 13, 2015 6:32 am
Hello All,
I have got lasershark board with the two step board, followed the instructions on macpod and updated the firmware, draw a circle successfully! calibrated the galvos drivers, but when I connected the board to work on Creation workshop, it didn't work, and I figured out that it is not reading the board as it doesn't have a port to communicate through. after a little search, I found that I should compile the board using cygwin64 to be able to start working by creation workshop, so I have downloaded the program followed the instructions till the download window, it turned out that the total package about 20 gigabytes!! so what Iam asking for is: what are the required packages to download to program the chip? should I download all the packages as I saw in the instruction video?
FYI: I have setup the program using default configuration, but when I typed in the window of the Cygwin "CM", it said "Command not found".
Please advise
