Re: Windows 32 and 64 bit

2020-10-29 Thread Stephen Goodall via subsurface
Could you do a 32-bit "freeze", so it still works but you don't need to
worry about building it in future?
Or maybe just do builds for major milestones so it's less often for you?

Re: Subsurface Mobile: Adding mares USB (cp210x) support; how to proceed

2020-03-07 Thread Stephen Goodall via subsurface
Will this affect all USB computers with Android? Very exciting!! I had a
look but made no progress (C++ is not something I've worked with so it
would have been a miracle if I had made progress :D )

I've got a Cressi Leonardo and a Suunto Zoop, and an Android 9 phone if you
want me to test those out with any changes. Let me know the branch and I
can build it and test it out

Cheers!
