We are having issues with updating the firmware for outdated jaguars. We are using all black jaguars Every time we open BDC_COMM-107, we immediately receive a message telling us that the program “cannot connect to specified comm port.” Additionally, we are unable to change said port through BDC_COMM. When connected to the jaguars they are still flashing yellow. The following has been tried:
I haven’t had luck with BDC-COMM on my Win 7 x64 laptop. That might extend to all Win 7 machines. Have you tried an XP laptop? (Assuming you have access to such an ancient machine.)
I know that we use this serial adaptor and it works just fine with Windows 7 x64, and just about anything else we plug it into. May be worth it if you are having problems now.
I’m using the old orange Vex programming serial adapter. The drivers load fine in Win 7, BDC-COMM just insists that I don’t have a serial port on the computer. I’ll probably get one of those, though, as it looks a bit more professional and I do have to use this thing for work as well.
