      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!
