Re: Compatibility with New Bookworm OS (Debian 12)

Fixed.
I did a fresh build of Bookworm, which I noticed had quite a few 'changes' (bug fixes?). All was OK.

Compatibility with New Bookworm OS (Debian 12)

Been trying to install Phidgets22 on a Pi5 running 64bit Bookworm OS, the latest recommended Raspberry Pi distro.

Loads of errors reported during install. Anyone succeeded or knows better!

TIA

Re: using Phidgets across multiple methods

Follow up. Solved with help from Brian at Phidgets tech support. The problem was I was creating the Phidget channels inside the main method, ie Stepper stepper0 = new Stepper This is how it is shown in the code examples. If you declare the phidgets in the public class eg public static Stepper steppe...

Re: using Phidgets across multiple methods

By trial and (many) errors I have found that Phidgets need to be explicitly transferred when calling a method, even if they have been declared public in the main class.

This seems to be new? I wasnt doing it with Phidgets21.

Is there a way of declaring them truly public

I am updating an old program that used to drive Phidget steppers, gps and a 2/2/2 interface kit, using Phidget21. Its a sophisticated telescope control program that has been working well for years. I'm using the new VINT modules and Phidget22. After a lot of learning (I'm also new to Java!) I have m...

Updating Java on SBC

Just got my first SBC4. My biggest issue seems to be that is running Java 8, and I need 11.
I have tried apt install default-jre (& jdk), but the version stays at 8 and the configure options says I have no choices.
Any help gratefully received!
