• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet

• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it

• Fork the project

• Start a feature/bugfix branch

• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution

• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.

dmm_util's Issues

implicit conversion of Fixnum into String (TypeError)

Hi,

Very interesting app.
I'm trying it on a Mac.

• info works fine
• set works very well
• dmm_util recordings gives the following error:
  /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/dmm_util-0.1.0/lib/dmm_util/fluke28x_driver.rb:143:in +': no implicit conversion of Fixnum into String (TypeError) from /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/dmm_util-0.1.0/lib/dmm_util/fluke28x_driver.rb:143:in qrsi'

• saved_measurements gives me similar error. It appeared when I have added saved measurement. With no saved measurements, it replies nothing.
  I'm using a Fluke 287.
  I don't know ruby at all.
  Some help would be welcome.

Help setting up

When running dmm_util info, I get a message saying that there is no DMM connected, but there is.
I changed this line:

#    Dir.glob("/dev/tty.usbserial*").each do |tty_path|

to this, as /dev/ttyUSB0 is what I get when connecting the meter

Dir.glob("/dev/ttyUSB*").each do |tty_path|

to no avail. I don't know anything about Ruby. The function open_driver(), as far as I can tell, is not defined anywhere in your code and isn't part of a standard library either, as far as I can tell.

I would be grateful for any suggestions to troubleshoot. And yes, I am aware this project is from over 10 years ago.
