Hi RT,

I would change that port number to somwhere below 12. Say 8?

To do that go into your device manager in windows and find what EQDIR is conected to usualy looks somthing like 'prolific serial...bla bla' then double click on it and go into the adavnced settings and you should be able to select a different COM port.

Then in EQASCOM setup, set it to the one you have made it.

That should solve your problem. I dont think EQASCOM can handle it when it is as high a port number as that.

Thanks Michael,

I have managed to get this to work on an old laptop which is good, shows theres no problem with my wiring now. However My homepc is defeating me, i have Xp, Win7 and Vista ultimate on there and I cannot get this to work for some reason, Win7 is practically a clean and new install, this makes me believe the USB on the PC is the problem, however it recognises the TTL as a Comms port and had no other issues with any other USB device. One of those headscratchers.

Thanks for your help

hmm....

I am conviced though that EQMOD does not like high com port numbers, i am sure I have heard this elsewhere.

Did you try what I sudgested?
