Hi Jean-Pierre,

just downloaded the Pipo version of Tutioune. Tried to run it on the Pipo and I get an error message :- FTD2XX.DLL is missing from your computer.

Any ideas what this file is and can I get hold of it?

Hi Malcolm,

Haven't go a Pipo yet (on order) but that sounds like the FTDI USB drivers which can be downloaded from the FTDI site.

You have not installed the FTDI driver or not well.
one solution is to search in your disk and to copy the FTD2XX.DLL in the minitioune/pipotioune directory

Mine arrived - very nice :-)

I ordered the 64 GB version, however it says drive C is 36.7 GB of which 31.5 is free - which seems odd as its not 32 or 64?

Seems very odd not to have a battery in such a small device - I was thinking about adding 14.8v Lipo (very small) in case underneath. For example:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ZIPPY-Compact ... 1e9bf046da

I guess I could always use one of the switched regs to drop to 12v if the PIPO won't take 14.8v or use the 11.1v version?

Any thoughts?

Could do, if you have not used lipo's before, make sure you get correct charger as these things can explode quite easily if not correctly charged, also if you drop one on to hard surface quite likely to catch fire and you cannot put them out once ignited. I use these a lot for my drone and model aircraft.

They are 64Gb but have many partitions if you look a bit deeper. I thought I had the 32Gb one at first glance!
