PMC8 Dashboard v0.2.0 — desktop utility for configuring and testing an Explore Scientific PMC-Eight controller (Windows / macOS / Linux).

What's new in v0.2.0

  • New Network tab: configure the PMC-Eight WiFi module (ESP32 / ESP8266 / RN131) to join your home network over the serial link.
  • Get WiFi Address: read the module's current IP without changing settings.
  • RN131 Restore to Default (factory AP mode).
  • Saved network credentials between sessions.
  • Rewritten, task-oriented user manual with troubleshooting and glossary (HTML + text).
  • macOS setup automation (setup_macos.command).

Licensing

  • Firmware upload uses an MIT loader only: p1_loader.py (pure Python, derived from dbetz's p1load) on Windows/Linux, and the bundled MIT p1load binary on macOS. No GPL code.

Install

  • Download the ZIP for your platform and extract it.
  • Windows: double-click run_dashboard_windows.bat.
  • macOS: double-click setup_macos.command (first run), then run_PMC8-Dashboard.command.
  • Full instructions are in docs/PMC8_Dashboard_User_Manual.html inside the ZIP.
