TeslaMap is available in two versions, Standard and Java. The following table defines the differences between versions.
| Standard | Java | |
| Supported Operating Systems | Windows only | Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris |
| Required Files | VB Runtime files (included) | Java Runtime Environment (free) |
| Instillation Required | Yes | No |
| Cost | Free | Free |
Both versions can calculate all required parameters of a Tesla coil. The Standard version has been in development longer and is a bit more refined. However the Java version is light-weight, simple and does not require any installation.
Be sure to take the Safety Quiz before building your Tesla coil.
Standard Installation Instructions:
- Download the "TeslaMap57Setup.exe" file (this is a package of all the program files).
- Double click or run the "TeslaMap57Setup.exe" file (this will extract the program files).
- You should see a window pop-up titled "WinRAR self-extracting archive". There will be a box under "Install to" where you can type in a location to extract the program files. I recommend typing in: C:\Program Files\TeslaMap Setup
- Click the "Install" button (this does not actually install the program, the button name is misleading but beyond my control).
- Now navigate to the folder you just typed in (C:\Program Files\TeslaMap Setup).
- When you open that folder you'll see a TeslaMap4 folder, which you can open.
- In the TeslaMap4 folder you'll see a "setup.exe" file. Double click or run the "setup.exe" file.
- Follow the setup program instructions.
- During installation you may be asked to keep or replace files, generally you should keep your existing files. At the end of the installation you may see an error message saying "error registering EXPSRV.DLL". You can safely hit the ignore button.
- If TeslaMap does not run, download and install the
free VB
Runtime files from Microsoft.
