I am getting this error:

propeller-load.exe -Dreset=dtr -I C:/propgcc/propeller-load/ -b ACTIVITYBOARD -p COM1 cmm/Welcome.elf -r
error: no propeller chip on port 'COM1'

I download the driver from the web site and ran the install. It seems to be there. I am sure what is going on.

I have the switch on the board on 2, with 2 LEDs lite up below the switch.

Thanks for the help

Mark

    Do you need to specify the COM port? At least on Linux, if I leave that option off then propeller-load will find and download to the first available Propeller. I assume the behavior is similar for Windows.

    SimpleIDE requires selecting the COM port at the moment. Auto-port is high on the enhancement priority list.

    And SimpleIDE uses propeller-load. I recognize that particular error message from SimpleIDE's Build Status window, one of my favorite features of SimpleIDE since I seem to need it so often :smile:
