juani_c 66 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi there! is there a way to speed up Energia? I use Win7 and is kind of a pain, the main problem is the menu, when I want to drop down a menu I have to wait a while and the software stop responding. Is there an easy way to solve this?

spirilis 1,265 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Mine is speedy & quick and I am using Windows 7 on a low-powered HP netbook. Maybe @@energia or others have some debugging/troubleshooting tips that could help? Is the system low on memory & using the swap space frequently? Are other apps doing the same thing (e.g. browsers)?

juani_c 66 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 I don't think is a memory problem, I only have this problem with Energia. IIRC I used to have the same issue with Arduino, can't remember if I fixed that... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner84 466 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Both Arduino and Energia use Java, maybe your JVM is out of date? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrbi 2 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I had this problem and solved it by disabling other com ports that not in use at the moment. I've found out that bluetooth dongle com port should be disable while not connected to usb. I guess energia refresh or check the available com ports all the time. juani_c and spirilis 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abecedarian 330 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Both Arduino and Energia use Java, maybe your JVM is out of date?I think Energia uses a bundled JVM/JRE- 1.6.0_16, or at least the Java control panels finds that one in its directory. A little concerning to me since 1.7.0_40 has been out a while and that wasn't used with the latest Energia release. And I'm not sure about COM ports- I have 1 port for each of: 3 MSP430 LP's, 1 Stellaris, 1 Tiva, 1 Renesas RX62N and 1 Freescale TRK5634M boards plus two motherboard ports showing in Windows' device manager and Energia gives me no issues.

Mrbi 2 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 As I said on my last post, I've found that the bluetooth com port did all the trouble when enabled and not connected. I'm using win7 and connected to it msp430 X 2 and one stellaris. In my case it doesn't matter what connected , the Energia gets so slow that you can make coffee between mouse clicks on the menu. Btw: it happens on the last version of Energia too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
juani_c 66 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 I had a couple of bluetooth com port, first I disabled them and then uninstalled them. Now It seems to run a little bit faster but It's far from optimum. Also updated Java but It was the same. I downladed the Energia Enhanced Release for Windows and that one seems to work OK.
