Michael Hayes (ID: 000000099c07cc6c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/26/2022 Realised the error message (unable to connect to API at sourceforge url) just meant I needed to install the windows software (was using a chromebook the first time). It's now working on my windows PC. Not managed to get calibration quite right, but still good enough to be useful. I just wish I could use it on my main computer, which is a chromebook.
