Brymen BM869(867) alternative software.

[coromonadalix]

very good work

thks Sairus for creating this piece of software,   i would love to have one ported for the Fluke 189 series, to replace the Fluke View software, and i would give some $$ to support the creator

[t1d]

Thank you, so much, Sairus, for your hard work, time, talent and graciousness, in sharing your Brymen program. I think I missed this post, back when we were working on the original "sniffing" thread... Doh! I have downloaded the file and look forward to trying it out.

Thank you Sairus

Sairus this project is a joke? Because is not funny!
I tried version Sairus DMM 1.04 with Arduino LEONARDO and it does not work. Pullup resistors for IR receiver: 5K, 10K, 20K, 30K, 40K, 50K, 60K, 100K, 150K.

Option "Port debug line" not work in version 1.04. 

[Sairus]

I checked software using virtual port pair and port debug line work fine. It show data after receiving and clear line after some time to indicate port activity. If after enabling function you dont se anything it mean that there no data coming to the port.

So do you select right port and settings set?
Do you connect to it without errors?
Error message (no signal) aper on display?

Arduino sketch was tested on UNO model, first i recommend send random data to serial port to check software and windows serial driver on you PC.

Best regards Sairus.

[Stefan3v]

Thanks Sairus and sorry for blaming you. Sairus DMM 1.04 is OK with Arduino UNO.
The serial port connected to the LEONARDO USB uses CDC (communications device class) to simulate UART functionality.

Many thanks!

Hi Sairus!
Your software is really interesting and I Thank You for making it available.

I'm fine-tuning the interface I've built around an Attiny85for my new BM869S, in case you are planning some upgrade, please consider the enlargement of the "Time" column of the login; in my PC I can see the date, hours and minutes but the seconds are truncated (even more than in the image of the previous post).

Furthermore, it would be convenient for the configuration parameters to be saved on file, instead of inserting them each time the program is started.

Thanks a lot!

This is a technical forum. Downloading source code is no different than downloading a circuit schematic, PCB layout or B.O.M.

I would hesitate to run a downloaded executable however it was delivered.

you're right it's not safe to run executables from unknown source. But there is down side of the coin. The author may not want to share some algorithm details, but can share executable which use it. For example, sometimes I don't want to share some signal processing code with my optimizations for which I spend a lot of time. I can share executable with obfuscation, but obfuscation leads to a false positive on antiviruses. So I decided not share these projects at all.

At a glance it looks that this is doesn't have sense. But in reality things are not so easy. Sometimes when you share some project as open source and it has good commercial perspective, you can catch some bad things. For example, you will find some peoples who use your code for commercial purposes and then they start to insulting you and will try to kick off your open source projects from the market.

I don't see the commercial perspective for this software, but this is the right of author to decide if he want to share source code or not.

Source code can contain malware, too.

(If you think about it: That bad exe file has source code!)

  In v1.07 
-Time column enlarged.
-Now settings saved from last use no need to set them every time.

Sairus,

fine work and thanks for sharing your SW with us.
Any possibility to port it  to Linux? ;-)
Have not yet tested it in wine.
Have someone done it?

By the way - to any who do not trust to use an .exe file
from EEVBlog - do first a scan on virustotal.com page.

My scan result is attached below.

I want to make IR adapter and software for logging data from my BM867.
I don't have AVR based arduino boards, but I have STM32F103 blue pill and IR leds and photodiodes.

It seems that this project can be used as a start point. But may be there is some other ready to use project on STM32 blue pill, please give me the link if any...

PS: here is pdf and arduino code taken with run exe file in a virtual machine. I think many people interested in it and don't want to run exe for safety purposes.

You dont need any arduino. You can use a cheap board which converts TTL to serial. You add it to the TTL output of Sairus board. Link for the one I used bellow.
I have made mine like this and works great for my BM869s with Sairus software as well with TestController with Serial driver HKJ did for it.
