Just got my system today and tried to run in Windows10 on a SurfacePro: i get the spinning wheel of death; nothing else.
When I open TaskManager, it doesn’t show any app’s running
Thoughts?
My main machine is a MAC, but I understand IDE doesn’t work on mac yet…when is that expected?
People have noticed that the virus scanner works overtime on the IDE. You should add it to be excluded. We have to digitally sign our IDE to fix this.
As for the IDE working on MAC. It actually does. Ibrahim just doesn’t have a Mac machine to release it on. So, this causes problems. Here’s a thread on how to run the Mac IDE from source:

I was able to get `usr/openmv-ide.py` to run on OSX - I don't have a board yet, … just trying to figure out if it would be possible on my machine.
I just wanted to offer a few notes on meeting the dependencies to run the IDE on OSX - some of this may be relevant to other systems as well.
Using MacPorts (sudo port install …) I installed the following packages:
- python27
- py27-pip
- py27-numpy
- py27-pygtksourceview
- py-pygtk (will bring py27-pygtk along with it)
- gtk2, glade, and gtksourceview2 will probably get installed as dependencies if the above listed dependencies get installed; there may be others that I already had installed but these were the ones I needed to install specifically.
Then using pip (sudo pip-2.7 install …):
- pyserial
- Pillow (provides PIL - Python Imaging Library)
This took a little while to figure out, so I may have missed a few… I will add others as I think of them.
Note that many OSX users with well-established MacPorts and Python2.7 installations may not need to worry about any of this, or may only be missing a few things. My biggest problem was that the names of the outside packages that I needed were not always obvious.
EDIT- I assume that it is also necessary to install libusb (using MacPorts) and pyusb (using pip) to talk to the OpenMV board, but I don't have the board to confirm that yet.
Clone the openmv repo to run the IDE. It’s just a python script.Home · openmv/openmv Wiki · GitHub
