Sort-of. The situation is not great. You can download, but not calibrate, in my experience.<br>
<br>
There are two bits of software, both a bit half-arsed.<br>
<br>
dxtool by Mateusz Golicz, simple tool to download distoX data. This<br>
summer Olly Betts patched it to work on a distoX2. A preliminary<br>
version of that patch is included in my dxtool version at:<br>
<a href="http://wookware.org/software/repo/pool/main/d/dxtool/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://wookware.org/software/<wbr>repo/pool/main/d/dxtool/</a><br>
A better one is stuck on a machine that is poorly.<br>
<br>
This is not fancy but it does download readings.<br>
<br>
upstream is at: <a href="http://jaskinie.jaszczur.org/index_en.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://jaskinie.jaszczur.org/<wbr>index_en.html</a><br>
<br>
prompted by this mail to finished this off, I have just uploaded it to<br>
debian, so it should be available there quite soon at<br>
<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dxtool" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tracker.debian.org/<wbr>pkg/dxtool</a><br>
<br>
<br>
The other codebase is Marco Corvi's precursor to topodroid: topolinux<br>
The drawing part of that codebase, using QT3 is competely obsolete,<br>
but the distoX tools comms part is still useful. I got it to download<br>
data, and calibration numbers but I never got it to successfully<br>
calculate new calibrations and upload them. It was 90% there but there<br>
were problems with different tools ordering data in different ways. I<br>
never got round to fixing it.<br>
<br>
It would be good if someone got enthused to fix up this code and then<br>
we could do calibrations without needing a windows PDA or laptop to<br>
run pockettopo, or an android device to run topodroid. As I own<br>
neither of those things I would really like to see this fixed, but<br>
still haven't got round to it as it's usually expedition time and it's<br>
easier to borrow a suitable device than to stop and fiddle with<br>
software :-)<br>
<br>
I would be keen to work with anyone who has some time for this, to<br>
resurrect the 'utils' part of that codebase in working form.<br>
<br>
Upstream is at <a href="https://code.google.com/archive/p/topolinux/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://code.google.com/<wbr>archive/p/topolinux/</a><br>
but was abondonned to work on topodroid instead.<br>
<br>
Marco could no doubt provide more info.<br>
