Hello! I just want to confirm the prob. I share it with my Dachstein! Also the 'solution' with writing on the serial port works.... Crazy thing that..... Thanks Jim for the feeling you give me not to be the only one or having wrong hardware or so.
So.... I got an update to Bering and hope to get rid of the prob with that. Otherwise I'll talk to you again!!
