Hello Everyone
I am trying to make up a less expensive version of the USB download cable for my students to use. In the past (on older versions of windows) I was able to use two cables in serial, one being a USB to serial converter and the other being a serial to 3.5mm audio jack. I currently run Win 10 Edu and the driver installed itself without the need for a disk (on a laptop). I opened the editor, checked the cable and it passed the first test, snippet included. The second test I could only get a reading of 2.85V instead of the required 5V as it states. I also ran a firmware check to see what Picaxe chip was connected and that worked properly. When I went to down load a program to see if it worked the following message came up Error: Verification error - 0x00 transmitted but 0xFFFFFFF0 received at byte 0[/B][/B]. I have also included an image of the two cables in serial, if anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it.
Regards
Gaetano
