Guest guest Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 More likely an issue with your usb/RS485 adapter than the controller. Need to make sure you have port set properly. Rebooting your pc is a good first step.Correct to assume it worked before on the same computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solm96 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 The boards status light should be blinking as soon as you apply power. Unless I'm missing something this should not have anything to do with the computer or communications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Benedict Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Did you remember to download and install the FTDI drivers for the RS485 adapter from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it will not, of course, be communicating.I'm blaming too much turkey for the brain cramp..Big Al..is this one you built? Has it worked previously...a little more info please.
