Re: Problem with program uploading

Ok, try this, take one of the black serial cables from the KOP and hook it upto your computer and the RC. Open the terminal window and select COM1 then turn on your robot controller you should get a message "IFI>Master Code V13" if you do not get any message turn of your controller and select COM2. When you select COM2 you should not get any error like "failure to open com port"

You may want to check in the BIOS of the machine to make sure your COM ports aren't disabled. You can also try deleting the com port in "Device Manager" and when you reboot, XP will reinstall the driver. If you have a laptop with a internal modem make sure you are not selecting the modem's COM port instead of the onboard serial port.

What is the brand, make, and model of the computer. If you would like send me an e-mail amartin "at" intelitek.com and we can maybe arrange to speak or a remote VNC session.
