+ | ==== Unable to establish any connection to the script ==== | ||
+ | * It is always a good idea to test the script first using a terminal emulator, such as Hyper Terminal or PuTTY on Windows 9x to make sure communication works. | ||
+ | * If you get no connection or garbled text, you may try to play with the Flow Control settings. Sometimes you will need to select Hardware, or XON / XOFF for the flow control. | ||
+ | * Make sure the Max speed setting matches what the script is operating on. | ||
+ | * Make sure you are using the right COM port on the computer or terminal emulation software. Go to Control Panel --> System --> Device Manager and under Ports, verify your serial port name. For example in my case it is COM1. | ||
