[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1083435, member: 17766"] [SIZE=6][COLOR=#ff0000][B]AtmoWakeHelper is now integrated in AtmoLight (under the AtmoLight configuration -> AtmoWin tab) so this app is no longer required and can enabled within AtmoLight if you want to.[/B] [/COLOR][/SIZE] [B] Problem description[/B] - After a machine comes out of sleep the com port will be unavailable for Atmowin, tested this on Windows 8.1 running Atmowin (SEDU V2/V3). - Atmowin will then report that it can no longer connect or just freeze up waiting for a COM connection that's not gonna happen. [B]Old solution[/B] - Re-add COM port and restart Atmowin, cumbersome and not ideal. [B]New solution (AtmoWakeHelper)[/B] [B]- [/B]Upon starting AtmoWakeHelper it will run in the background and monitors when the machine goes into sleep and resume. - Upon machine resume it will stop Atmowin then reconnect the COM port afterwards it will start Atmowin up again. [B]Install[/B] Unpack in Atmowin directory or anywhere else if you choose to setup a custom AtmoWin and AtmoWakeHelper folder location. [B]Configuration[/B] - Start "AtmoWakeHelper.exe" and select the correct COM port, one time setup and afterwards it will just minimize to tray on startup if it detects the COM port has already been selected. [B]Changelog[/B] 04-03-2015 - Added option to set the AtmoWakeHelper folder manually, this allows for AtmoWin and the AtmoWakehelper to be in 2 different locations. 27-02-2015 - Additional delay of 2.5s added on resume to prevent it from displaying "include file not found" when the disks aren't ready yet. - Added option to set the AtmoWin folder manually, this is optional and means you don't need to have the AtmoWakeHelper in your AtmoWin folder if you chose to use it. 03-06-2014 - Process start error handling. - Added external resources to source with permission granted from NirSoft. - Added debug mode (enable in code) and additional error handling 24-05-2014 - Added option to disable Atmowin startup after resume (default is on) 23-05-2014 - Made it Forms application with much cleaner code, on first start it will ask you to set the correct COM port. - Saves settings in profile folder. - No longer needs .bat files. - Shorter sleep timers. - Added logo, greyscale to avoid confusion with Atmowin icon. - Check if already running. - Removed pskill.exe dependency [B]Download[/B] See attachment [B]Source code[/B] [URL]https://github.com/ambilight-4-mediaportal/AtmoWakeHelper[/URL] [B]Disclaimer[/B] USBDeview by [URL='http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html']NirSoft[/URL] [/QUOTE]
