they supplied cable serial to serial grey cable.I connect one to box then serial to adapter with usb then to pc? Laptop seems not to recognoise. I have ON on the box in green lights? checked connections all tight etc?
Flash the box in standby. I would say they gave you the wrong lead as you need a null modem cable similar to this one http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=L71BT&DOY=2m6 or your comm port hasnt been assigned to your USB adapter.
scouser thanks for that.By standby do you mean with green led saying ON? I have the correct cable as per your link.how sholud i assign the com port to USB? appreciate the help thanks
No you need it with the standby light on. Your lead may look the same but may still not be a null modem cable. To see which port your USB adapter is connected to, connect your USB adapter and follow the following instructions: 1. Go to the Start Menu 2. Right click on "My Computer" 3. Select "Properties" 4. Click on the "Hardware" tab 5. Click on "Device Manager" 6. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)" 7. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your USB adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.) 8. Go back to gtromloader and make sure it is looking at the correct port. 9. You should be able to transfer data once the correct port is selected If you need drivers go here http://www.gilsson.com/usb_drivers_download.htm
scouser still no joy.Bought the maplin cable and a maplin usb to serial.have both connected.Looked at the device manager at it says USB to com adapter in port 6. Open the GT loader it shows me only to port 4. I try all 4 first 3 no port recognoised.Port 4 it tries to download stays on zero forever never moves. WHat u think? Thanks
In device manager, under Ports (COM & LPT), double click the one assigned to COM 6. In the property page, click the Port Settings tab. Click Advanced. Change the COM Port Number to the one you want and click OK. Make sure you assign to an unused port between 1 and 4.
