Sigh. I've got a Liberty Basic app that talks via RS-232 to a Microchip controller to run the [currently] 33 irrigation valves for my wife, "The Kamikaze Gardener." All is well with a "real" serial port from this desktop. All is not well with at least two USB-Serial adapters from here or either of our laptops. I also tried the one from Elecraft [Prolific] which works fine everywhere else.
Clearly, all serial ports are not created equal. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2013 Cal QSO Party 5-6 Oct 2013 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
