Error in animation.py

[gusshmn]

Hello all,
after successfully launching the OM.exe I would like to get it as well running by code. So I can understand the functionality and maybe edit or even build on top of it.

After making a fork of the repository and pip installing some additional requirements (pyqt-graph, OpenGL, PyDAQmx and pyuff) I did get an error
name 'ctypes' is not defined
I figured I could ad
import ctypes to the DAQTask.py

Now I'm getting another error I can't tell if is my environment (using Python 3.8.3 via Spyder 4.1.5 Anaconda) or some other problem.

Thanks for your help in advance.

For name 'ctypes' is not defined:
my guess is that when you installed NI-DAQmx drivers you did not install the C API!

[gusshmn]

Thank you for your answer. I did reinstall the driver for NI-DAQmx including the support for C. But the same error came up. Maybe I did something wrong setting up my environment. I will check on that today.
