Well, I wish it were all that simple. I was originally running the Tbolt with tboltd under Linux to provide data to one of my ntp servers, on a real(tm) serial port. Sometime after a reboot (or maybe during ??) it just stopped working, at least the serial portion. I've tried a bunch of different machines, including attaching the thing to a Moxa Serial device server, and i dont get anything out at all. I've let it sit overnight, power cycling, tried different machines, (VirtualBox, Wine with USB serial and direct serial) all to no avail. It simply gives no output at all.
Oh well, I suppose it was good while it lasted. I'm off over to the pond for holiday, so maybe I'll get "lucky" and it will get happy after I get back, otherwise I'll have to rip it apart and attempt to figure out whats wrong -- probably just the serial chip blown somehow..... > Date: Sat, 17 Jul 2010 08:40:23 -0400 > From: "Stan, W1LE" <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Did my Tbolt die ? > > Hello Adam, I suspect that: > > Upon rebooting, the OS came up and did not recognize the (serial) COM > port assignment you had used before. > > Check the COM port assignments in the control panel, and adjust > accordingly, to match the actual COM port you are using > > Looks like the TB is good, I suspect the PC end. > > Stan, W1LE > > _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
