Hi there,
The new version of mxtController and conresponding firmware run on rainbowduino may not work, so you may try this(I’v tested ok):
-
Download the mtXcontrol_windows.zip and Rainbow_mtX.zip here:http://code.google.com/p/rainbowduino/downloads/list
-
Connect your rainbowduino in proper way to your computer that you can program it throgh COM.(Remember to change the port to use COM1)
-
Unzip Rainbow_mtX.zip to your arduino code directory (no need in the arduino library), open Rainbow_mtX.pde by arduino and program it to your rainbowduino.(If it compiles failed, there may be another rainbowduino class in your arduino library, so back up and remove it).
After programmed, the rainbow Matrix will be all in white.
4.Unzip mtXcontrol_windows.zip and run mtXcontrol.exe.
If ther’s error reported, like “not found javaw.exe”, then you need to add the java path to your environment variable(On my computer is: D:\Program Files\arduino-0018\java\bin ). Am I understood?
If there’s no error reported, just enjoy controlling your rainbow!
May it helps!
All the best,
