have you installed the sftware for usb to serial?

Hi

Thats right eagle is just like the dm500s. as said above regarding the usb to serial needs the drivers loaded up and even then its a bit of hard work to get it going properly.

What operating system are you using.

Hi

These usb to serial are more hit and miss types thats why Paul quite rightly suggested to use pc/laptop with a dedicated serial port.

Are you selecting correct com port.

Hi

Cant remember exactly but I think you can change the com port for the serial lead in device manager.

Try another version of dreamup.

Best way is the dedicated serial port route.

please make sure u r using right nullmodem cable, between your laptop and box. nullmodem is not same with serial cable. nullmodem is cross conection between pin with it other end.
