Jack Skellington Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I have always used a director board to run my shows. This year I want to project videos with the lights. I have a Toshiba Satellite C6550-S5234 with windows 7 on it. I have LOR and all my sequences loaded on it but cannot get a Comm port to work. How can I make it recognize the computer. I have 1 standard cable slot, 2 USB ports and 1 VGA port on the computer. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Take your USB485 or whatever LOR adapter you are using and plug into the USB slot, drivers should automatically load. Open the Hardware Utility and in the top left corner click on the button that says auto config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 In the event that for some reason the driver does not load, here is a link to it on the LOR website. I copied this from a six year old post in the forum, but the link appears to still be active. Save the file and run it. www.lightorama.com/downloads/CDM_Setup.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 And here is a link to a troubleshooting writeup. Note that this is also very old, but the concepts are the same. http://www.lightorama.com/Documents/RS485_Adapter_Troubleshooting.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I believe there is a more up to date driver on the updates page: http://www1.lightorama.com/firmware-updates/ RS-485 Driver CDM20830_Setup.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
