Re: Interfacing a PC with last year's Robot Controller

In order to open a serial connection with a 2003 RC using the MSCOMM control you need to set the DTREnable property to false before you open the port. With a regular basic stamp you get a reset when the port opens, but the RC goes into a permanent error state. The documentation claims that the default value for the DTREnable property is false, but that is incorrect.
