Ok, here is the issue. I have a Lancair with 2 D-180's (I know, I didn't install it, it was like this when I bought it). Anyway, the computer I'm using is Windows XP, with a radio shack USB to Serial Converter, set per the specifications in the manual:
Baud rate: 115200
Data: 8 bit
Parity: none
Stop: 1 bit
Flow control: none
When I connect the computer to the left seat D-180 (primary), the computer says that the instrument is found on the comm port, however when I try to connect to it, say, when I try to check the firmware version (which is 5.4.0 btw), the computer says "connecting..." for a while, then "attempting to connect to device" or something, and then, after about a minute, it pops up saying that it cannot connect to the device. There is no visible change on the D-180 while this process is happening (i.e. no yellow screen, etc)
My first thought was that it was the computer. Then I tried to connect to the second Dynon (right side - slave, sort of), and it connects just fine, yellow screen and all.
The reason that I was trying to connect to the Dynon is because I need to do some data logging, but when I try to configure it, under the menu for data logging, I have "Error 4". I know that there is a file from Dynon that has to be uploaded to the device, but I wanted to check out my computer connection before I pestered support for that.
Any suggestions?
