PIDscope not working on MacOS 26.3

[JumaAnher]

Hello,

Firts of all congrats for your efforts, this is a great contribution for the community.

I'm having problems running PIDscope on MacOS:
Macbook Air M4
MacOS Tahoe 26.3

I don't know if the problem could be that the octave homebrew's available version is 11.1, which is not into the scope you noted as a requirement in the README-macos.txt file:

REQUIREMENTS:
- macOS 12+ (Monterey or later)
- GNU Octave 9.x or 10.x (via Homebrew)
- Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4/M5) or Intel Mac

As a first issue, when I execute the command octave --eval "pkg install -forge signal statistics control image" it fails asking for datatypes as an unsatisfied dependency. With the command octave --eval "pkg install -forge signal datatypes statistics control image" I get a succesful execution of the command with some warnings (some depreciated commands

octave --eval "pkg install -forge datatypes signal statistics control image"
pkg: downloading latest package database from packages.octave.org...

For information about changes from previous versions of the statistics package, run 'news statistics'.
Please report any issues with the statistics package at "https://github.com/gnu-octave/statistics/issues"

After that I can open the GUI, but it does not work. I can select a BBL file, for example, but it shows no graphic. I left it running for almost one hour with no results.

Can you please help me?
