Hi,
Is the ProTuner software for AM882 working on Windows 8.1? Or am I wasting my time..
I managed to install the software but cannot get it connected to the drive. I have tried both, the onboard serial port and a serial to USB converter, with no success.
Solved!
It is working.
I had a contact problem at the RJ11 connector.
Just for fun:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDlj0jBtYmQ even though the vid show a centronics plug. :joker:Quote:

I've read the manual already lol I was thinking I would need to make one but Zapp's prices I think just order one.Quote:

I think the second one. Just give Garry a quick ring at Zapp.Quote:

I already tried that and they didn't seem to know but have emailed tech support at leadshire so hopefully will get an answer Monday as they've all gone home now in China.Quote:

I gave you the pin out in post #5 simple to make you might have to swap tx and rx aroundQuote:

I am also used to connect the cable to RJ plugs by hammering the contacts using a small screwdriver shaped to fit the contacts :)
Ah I totally missed that thanks!Quote:
