Re: [M100] New zebra strips for M100 display — any interest?

2021-08-10 Thread Jamie Nichol
Hey guys,

Quick update.  I have four displays on hand (thanks Josh!).  Measurements 
suggest a zebra strip height between 3.3mm and 3.4 mm will work best.   I’ve 
been in a protracted conversation with the supplier about best practices for 
assembly.

I’ll have another set of prototypes made at the updated height, rebuild the 
four displays I have on hand, and let you all know how that goes.

More to come,

—Jamie

[M100] mComm

2021-08-10 Thread Peter Vollan
When I run mComm on my linux box, I get:
  File "/usr/bin/mcomm", line 6
subprocess.call(["python3", "/usr/share/mcomm/mcomm.py", *sys.argv[1:]])
^
SyntaxError: can use starred expression only as assignment target

Do I have the wrong type of Python? I run Mint 17.3.

MComm is also not working on my Android tablet; ts-dos just says disk not
ready. I've tried all my serial adaptors.
