  3. Go to 01_SETUP/WINDOWS and run py -m setup in the cmd shell.

  4. Install Sensirion Control Center to allow the sensor bridge to communication with the computer. Important: Select yes when asked for driver installation at the end of the process.

  5. Find the finished executable at 02_SOFTWARE/disp.

Setup Sensirion USB Sensor Viewer

  5. Enter the previously found comport number in the RS485 Sensor viewer and connect.

Debugging

The installation is based on pyinstaller. It is configured via the 02_SOFTWARE/main.spec file. Set debug=True and console=True to receive informative output on the cmd shell upon launching the program.
