You will get a better response to this question over at the D-Light forums as it is a ACx16 hardware/HWUtility question and not an Aurora question. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

Is the USB485 installed correctly?
Did you select the correct COM port?
Does the LED blink when the utility is not running?
What RS485 chip is in the controller? ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!

If you have a set of really good magnifiers, take a look at your RS485 Transciever chip. There are two major suppliers and they are pin-compatible. One is made by Texas Instruments, the other by Intersil. You really want the Texas Instrument version. Last year, I believe the consensus was that it was Intersil chips that were losing their IDs.

I just put $100 aside each month, and when I had $350 to build a pair of silvers, I got a pair. Then another 4 months later I got another pair. ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!
