I don't think it's a problem with the jack screws, as they back out completely into the housing, and I can plug in the cable all the way to my computer and KIO2 board. My biggest concern is that P4-7 on the control board is putting out 0 V. From the troubleshooting section of the KIO2

Ok, I checked out the voltages on the control board to see if that might shed some light on anything. (See page 15, Appendix E, Troubleshooting in K2 manual) Q12-E: 4V (not 6) Q12-B: 4.5V (not 7) U2-1, 2, 3: 4.07V (not 6.9) U2-5, 6, 7: 4.5V (not 7.3) U6-24: 0V (not 5) U6-25: 5V (not 0)

Jason, Do you have the computer port set correctly? 4800 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 or 2 stop bits, handshaking set off (none). Some USB to serial port adapters have caused problems with some pieces of control software. Can you use a different computer with a real serial port (or a

I have the port settings set up exactly as you said. I thought about taking it to work next week where my computer has a real serial port, I'll report back then on how it goes. -Original Message- Jason, Do you have the computer port set correctly? 4800 baud, 8 data bits, no parity,

I had to remove the jack screws from the connectors to make a solid connection. They wouldn't allow the connectors to mate deep enough. On Sat, 25 Jun 2005 05:00:41 +, Jason Marten [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry to interrupt anybody's field day plans! I just built the KIO2, but couldn't
