Crashing on Win10

Open ElfyShort opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Software started randomly crashing when running on Win10. Works for a few minutes, and then crashes. Reproduced on 4 different Windows machines.

Setup: Software reseaves 6 data channels, coma separated, with 3 digit precision after coma in ascii format. Data rate is 10 Hz. Two of these channels are hidden. Rest of the channels are plotted. Serial monitor is enabled to see data coming in. Here 2 digits after coma precision is selected.

Same machines were using the serialplot before without problems, until one day it started to work unstable on all computers. I suspect Win10 update.

Are you using a version you have built yourself or a binary you downloaded?

I downloaded the installation file back in the days. I have tried to redownload it once i start getting this crash, but reinstalling it didn't help

Was there any progress on this? I am still not able to use the software due to random crashing. The software version is 0.12. Any estimation of the new win release that addresses this? I saw another similar issue that was reported on Linux. Is there a config file generated somewhere on the Windows machine that can be modified for debugging?

I'm afraid not. I cannot reproduce the issue on my machine. So I cannot debug it. Same situation on the Ubuntu 22.04 as well.

I'm not planning to do a binary release anytime soon.

On windows, configuration is stored in registry which can be edited with 'regedit'. Find the 'periodicCheck' option in this path:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\serialplot\serialplot\UpdateCheck
