BS2p24 Won't Communicate with Laptop via RS232

jewels180

I know that this should not even be an issue, especially when I am using an education board. All I need to do is plug in the power source (outlet), connect the IC , and plug in the serial cable.... I have also made sure the FIFO is not checked in device manager, that the correct device and version of Basic is selected in my code. When I click on identify, it registers the feedback loop. I had my chip communicating with the computer previously, and after I had some IT work done on this laptop at work, it stopped communicating. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is there any chance the IT work ended up either re-numbering or turning off your COM ports?

Can you check your laptop with another computer to see if they will communicate? Set up Hyperterminal on both, connect with a null-modem cable and see if typing on one appears on the other.

Are you using a USB to serial converter? Did the proper driver get replaced during the IT work?

Cheers,
