About
The DWM-Control desktop application works for both Windows and Mac. It is designed to control and update your DWM V2 meters all from your computer (and serve as an alternative to the STM32CubeProgrammer which has been very complicated to use). Currently, only the ability to update your meter and de-embed your elements is available. The actual "Control" features will come in a future update.
Important Note
I am working on purchasing a developers license for both Windows and Mac to be a "Trusted" developer. These licenses cost annually $400 USD (for Windows) and $100 USD (for Mac). For the time being, Windows and Mac may flag the application as malware because I am an "untrusted" developer. To get around this, below are the ways to get around this issue.
Also, this app was almost completely vibe coded. It was the only way to make something like this happen without exploding my budget!
Windows Installation & Setup
Note: Because Windows needs drivers to do literally anything, a driver is needed for the DWM to be updated.
Driver Installation
Because Windows needs drivers to do literally anything, a driver is needed for the DWM to be updated.
-
Download the Zadig USB Driver Installer.
-
Set the DWM-V2 into firmware update mode (DFU mode).
-
Connect the DWM-V2 to the PC.
-
Open the Zadig App.
-
Above the "Install Driver" button, WinUSB should be selected.
-
Click "Install Driver" and wait a few moments for the driver to install.
-
Once installed, the drop down should show "DFU in FS Mode".
-
Done! You may proceed to the Installation section below!
DWM Control Installation
1. Once the DWM-Control app is downloaded, depending on your browser, it may show something like this:
2. Click the three dots. Then "Keep".
3. Then, this message may appear. Click "Keep anyway".
4. Then, open the installer from where it downloaded to and follow its steps to complete the installation!
macOS Installation
Note: macOS already has the drivers needed for performing a firmware update, so Zadig is not needed here.
1. Once the app is downloaded, open the .dmg installer.
2. Drag and drop the DWM-Control app to the Applications folder.
3. Navigate to the "Applications" folder and open the DWM-Control Application.
​
When the app is first opened, you will most likely see this pop up due to me not being a "verified" developer yet:
4. Click "Done". Then click on the Apple logo on the top left of your screen, then click "System Settings":
5. Navigate to "Privacy and Security", then scroll all the way to the bottom and click "Open Anyway". There may be a popup that will ask this again, click "Open Anyway. You may need to confirm this with your system credentials.
6. Done!
The app should open and you can now update your DWM V2 meter!
Remember, on Mac, no drivers are needed. Everything should just work!
