=== What device can I use? ===

Papywizard is mainly developped for Nokia 770/N800/N810 devices. The 770 is an old discontinued product, but can be found on ebay for less than 75€. The installation of that device is a little more complicated than on others, as it needs to be flashed with a new firmeware, but its design is much better. On the other hand, N800/N810 are faster, simpler to configure, but more expensive.

For a complete description of how to configure these devices, see this [http://www.autopano.net/wiki/action/view/Install_Papywizard_on_Nokia_770_N800_N810 Autopano wiki page]

=== Bluetooth does not work under Windows ===

Bluetooth support through [http://org.csail.mit.edu/pybluez pybluez] is limited; only Windows and Broadcom stacks are supported. So, if your device comes with Toshiba or Bluesoleil stack, first remove it, and let Windows install its drivers. It should then work.

=== How can I change look'n'feel? ===

It is possible to globaly change the application look'n'feel using the GTK styles, by creating a '''{{{gtkrc}}}''' user file:

 * '''{{{C:\\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\papywizard\gtkrc}}}'''¹ under Windows
 * '''{{{~/.config/papywizard/gtkrc}}}''' under linux
 * '''{{{/home/user/.config/papywizard/gtkrc}}}''' under maemo

Here is a sample file to change the font size:

{{{
# gtkrc

style "user-font"
{
    font_name="Sans Serif 13"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

gtk-font-name="Sans Serif 13"
}}}

I'm not familiar with styles under GTK, but there are plenty documentation arround. If you write some nice themes, please share them ;o).

''Note: this only works for release 1.5.2 or above.''

== Errors ==

=== Error related to configuration ===

It may happen that the configuration file can't be updated while installing a new version, especially when you use dev. release. If Papywizard can't start, and report an error related to the configuration, you need to remove the config. file:

 * '''{{{C:\\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\papywizard\papywizard.conf}}}'''¹ under Windows
 * '''{{{~/.config/papywizard/papywizard.conf}}}''' under linux
 * '''{{{/home/user/.config/papywizard/papywizard.conf}}}''' under maemo

''¹: you have to configure the Windows Explorater so it shows you ''system'' files and directories.

=== '''!HardwareError: Axis ''n'' can't send command''' ===

Papywizard can't correctly comunicate with the head. Solutions:

 * check if the head is switched on
 * if using serial driver, be sure to use the correct port
 * if using a bluetooth-to-serial converter, don't forget to configure its baudrate to 9600 for the Merlin/Orion head
