The presence of the word XBee introduces some uncertainty. Are you performing the test steps with a direct serial connection or are you trying to use an XBee link? I intended the former rather than the latter.liam.zbasic wrote:Step-B3: Close ZBasic IDE. Open X-CTU Xbee program, which includes terminal.

No. I'm using a hard serial line via a dual CyberSerial pci card (COM1 & COM2). The X-CTU software includes a terminal that allows user to select COM port. I used COM1 in steps-B1 through B5 in the March 3rd exercise. No XBee there.dkinzer wrote:Are you performing the test steps with a direct serial connection or are you trying to use an XBee link?
Did you perform your exercise using a direct serial port or a USB to TTL serial converter? It's unusual for Win x64 desktops to come with a serial port. This could be the difference.dkinzer wrote:I have confirmed that all of the steps in the exercise I posted on 26 February work correctly on Win7 x64. I used the ZBasic IDE v1.5.12 (the one in the latest installer). Note, however, that Option|Reset Device does not work correctly on that version when ATN Character downloading is selected.
I used a "real" serial port on a PCIe add-in board like this one. I'll repeat the exercise using an FTDI-based USB-serial converter.liam.zbasic wrote:Did you perform your exercise using a direct serial port or a USB to TTL serial converter?
