How to setup characterization tool? Added python to path and installed but no idea where the install went or what happened and my windows search broke due to a regedit thingy. Help
Hi John,
Does this link work for you? If you follow these instructions, you can set up the characterization tool.
https://docs.wpilib.org/en/latest/docs/software/wpilib-tools/robot-characterization/introduction.html
The problem is that it didn’t work.
Did you try running frc-characterization drive new? After running pip install frc-characterization
yes that it what I did. got dll import error
Please post the full error message.
I dont know what a DLL error means, but a quick google search gets me this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41365446/how-to-resolve-importerror-dll-load-failed-on-python
Basically, somethings up with your python installation, try reinstalling the latest version.
I already reinstalled python
Sorry, then I don’t know. I’m sure others know how to help.
If you were messing around in the registry and broke something, you need to reinstall Windows. The errors you posted in this thread don’t happen on normal Windows machines. You never need to touch regedit to get these tools working. Ever.
When installing, have you installed Python for all users and disabled the path length limit? If you did not, try reinstalling with these options.
did not fix
It seems likely that a dependency of scipy is not installed. You can try using dependency walker to look at the pyd files inside the scipy installation.
The most likely candidate for a missing dependency is the visual studio runtimes. I would try installing the Vs2015/2017/2019 runtimes and see if that addresses your issue.
This happened to us and we got it working. I’ll ask the guy who fixed it what he did
I was using python from microsoft store. I uninstalled and got from website. worked
