Having trouble with the colorimeter software? A couple of tips...

horseflesh

I just assembled my kit and achieved "first light" on Windows 10. I learned a couple of things that might help others who are just getting started

#1 You don't have to install Pyton, there is an executable
Do not overlook the precompiled binary if you want to get going quickly.

#2 If your Windows exe doesn't seem to be working right check the scaling settings
I fired up the app and the window looked like this, and I couldn't get it to do anything.

I found that the window was mangled because the exe was not handling my 4k display well. I fixed this by turning on the Windows "High DPI Scaling Override."

Right-click and do Properties on the exe
Hit the Compatibility tab
Hit the Change High DPI settings button
Check High DPI scaling override
In the menu, select System (Enhanced)
OK and Apply your way out

Once I did that and restarted, the app looked like this, and I was able to start the Basic program and calibrate with water.

I hope this helps someone!
