Well, I just got my propeller all set up and I pluged in my USB cable & pressed F7 but it sayes "No serial ports found". I checked, and I can't find any serial ports in device manager. I'm running Windows 7.

I tried to set one up, but I have no idea what IRQ and mem range to use.

I've got an Asus P6T-Deluxe MB. I can't even tell if it has com ports. It
cost $400.00 it should have a com port.

Can someone help me ? I'm sorry to ask such a dumb question, but I can't
get it to work.

Thanks for the help,
Fred

    Do you have the proper device driver installed? The default Windows driver won't work. You can download the proper driver from Parallax's website or from FTDI's website. Make sure to unplug your board until after the driver is installed. Also, remember that your board has to have power (and be turned on) for the Propeller Tool to recognize it.
