No RS232 communication with PC
Posted: 15 Oct 2012 23:27
Can't get my S4 to communicate with the PC via the Com 2 port.
Have checked Windows settings for the port, and these show as 9600 Baud, 8N1 and no flow control
On the S4 WinDriver v2.17 software prefs, the settings are the same.
I understand that when I switch on the S4 a few times I should be seeing what's displayed on the internal LCD display being shown in the terminal window?
Haven't managed to achieve that thus far, or transfer data.
I had a couple of serial cables in stock, but they didn't work, so bought a new lead from Dataman themselves, but still no comms.
What am I doing wrong?
