Hey Dennis, Just as a double check, have you tried right-click inside graph window and select "View All" and/or some of the "Plot Options"? Or maybe you don't even get the drop down menu when right-clicking. Cheers

I am running my PPK on VirtualBox (Windows 7 32bit).

Good to know. The upcoming release will also use 9.3.1 because of some bug fixes. Still, having the third issue at all is a weird result

I had the second issue, I have solved it by modifying file python_packages.bat replacing line

python -m pip install pynrfjprog=9.0.0

with

python -m pip install pynrfjprog

In this way version 9.3.1 has been installed and I did not face the third issue.

On Third Issue: Can you see if any error messages occur in the background? It doesn't seem like you have a Segger connection going properly. Is the COM switch set according to your setup? Are you able to use RTT with your DK? The error you see with 9.0.0 is raised when we try to run a command like sys_reset or go. Are you running Keil debugger or similar at the same time? Any other JLink instance?

Try to go to line 1002 in ppk.py, replace except: with except Exception as e:, and on the next line insert print str(e) to get a more verbose error output.

Hi there, I'm getting the same issue with initially getting the pynrfjprog version to be correct, but now I'm not sure which version should be right. Using the pip list shows me these versions with the PPK install: enum34 (1.1.6) future (0.16.0) numpy (1.11.3) pip (9.0.1) pynrfjprog (9.1.0) pyqtgraph (0.10.0) PySide (1.2.4) setuptools (28.8.0)

I then get 'Unable to connect to the PPK, check debugger connection and make sure pynrgjprog is up to date". Any suggestions? -Paul

Wilhelmsen, you didn't say if your windows was 32 or 64 bit.

I tried pynrfjprog 9.1.0 with the following results.

Unable to connect to the PPK, check debugger connection and make sure pynrfjprog is up to date.

The screen flashed both windows and then the disappeared.

I then tried the next version up of pynrfjprog which is 9.2.0.

It starts but again a blank graph.

I also tried to downgrade numpy to 1.9.2 but it won't install on my system. I get a message that starts like this below.

The next version of numpy that will install on my system is 1.10.4 which also give me a blank graph.

I installed the packages with the versions you are using

pyside:		 1.2.4 
pyqtgraph:	 0.10.0
numpy:		 1.11.3 
pynrfjprog:	 9.2.1

and no, it did not produce an error but no data was coming through. Downgrading pynrfjprog to 9.1.0 made it work again

pip install pynrfjprog=9.1.0

the pip issue you are seeing is an issue with pip itself, and is out of our hands. We will look into what causing pynrfjprog 9.2.x to break it.

Sorry to hear this. The installer issue is most likely a pip issue, since I see that downgrading has worked for some people. That is unfortunately out of our hands. I see that you get a lot of warnings, can you try downgrading the mentioned packages to the ones the software reports it is tested with? In the mean time, we will also try installing the same packages as you have. New API's etc in external references may break the software, so this will be fixed. pynrfjprog should definately work with pynrfjprog 9.0.0, and 9.1.0. It hasn't been thoroughly tested with 9.2.0+ so I would advice against that for now. The graph being blank means that no data is coming through, are you sure that the console is not reporting any warnings or errors?

EDIT: To downgrade pynrfjprog, do pip install pynrfjprog==9.1.0

Update: I tried the install as above on another machine which was a desktop Win7 64bit machine. I did not get First Issue above but did get Second Issue and Third Issue.
