Description

OpenBCI/OpenBCI_GUI#674

Expected Behavior

Access Serial ports directly on Windows without the JRE crashing.

Current Behavior

Crashes and produces a log in the application directory. Happens on Standalone app and processing-java.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download OpenBCI GUI v4.2.0 pre-release.
2. Open GUI, and hopefully you have some serial ports to populate the list (e.g. COM1, COM2, etc.)
3. In the control panel, click: Live(from Cyton)-->Serial(from Dongle)-->Manual > -->Any Radio Configuration Button

Your Environment

• Processing version: 4.0.0-alpha1
• Operating System and OS version: Windows 10 Pro - up to date
• Other information:

Possible Causes / Solutions

Probably crashing on the following line:

serial_output = new Serial(this, openBCI_portName, openBCI_baud); //open the com port
