Hi, I have now lended a Handytech Braille Star 40 terminal and try to use it with Windows XP. I have installed the precompiled brltty-win-4.2-2.exe.
The braille terminal is attached to an USB 2.0 port. Windows has recognized it and installed something with "usb to serial" (can't remember exactly). Then I tried to start brltty and my test program using BRLAPI with the command: brltty -e -l debug -n -b ht -d serial: > debug.log.txt 2>&1 I have also tried with -d USB: It doesn't work. In the log file there are always some messages like: brltty.exe: braille driver initialization failed: ht -> serial: brltty.exe: braille driver not found The application can connect successfully with brlapi_openConnection(), but the driver Name is given as "NoBraille" by brlapi_getDriverName(). I don't know what to try next. Can you give me some advice?
