If I execute navXMXPUI.bat (edited as specified to point to COM4, which is where the ST VCP is connected), I get an error "Could not find or load main class NAVXMXPUI". I am able to run navXConfig (setup.exe) with no issues which leads me to believe both the PC and navX hardware are configured properly.

I'm using Win 7 (64 bit), and have Java 1.7 runtime enabled under User settings (1.8 is also installed, but I have disabled it). I've also installed Processing 2.2.1 (2.1 is not listed as a downloadable release) and have copied the "processing" directory to the specified location. I am not able to "Open the Processing IDE and then open the navXMXPUI sketch via the "File->Sketchbook menu" because there are no selections available ("Empty Sketchbook" appears, greyed-out). I can open the .pde successfully using the File/Open dialog, however when I attempt to compile it I get the same library errors as a previous poster reported (no library found for com.kauailabs etc.). When I "Show Sketch Folder", the navXMXPUI folder (and its subfolders) is displayed as one would expect.

Where have I gone wrong? I suspect it's something in my Java configuration.

Building the navXMXPUI with the Processing IDE 2.2 has an issue we haven't fixed yet, I think that's causing your issue.

The pre-built binary in the navxmxpui\application.windows64 directory should work on 64-bit windows if java 1.7 is installed, it's built with processing IDE 2.1. Looks like the link to the 2.1 IDE has been removed.
