I have a solo d180 install. It was running 4.? and I wanted to update
to 5.2 so I bought the Dynon usb to serial adapter to connect to the
serial plug on my Dynon purchased wiring harness. I plugged the adapter into a laptop running Vista and got the driver loaded, I also loaded the 5.2 update program then headed for the cockpit. After plugging all together turning on the dynon and booting the computer I
ran the 5.2 program and selected "find firmware number" or some such innocuous command. I get the yellow screen but then the computer says can't connect. I replug, retry etc. but no dice. meanwhile the yellow screen sits there looking at me - the backup battery means i can't even shut it off. I've unplugged the computer and am at home. What are my options? Tomorrow I'll go back to see if I'm screwed. 4.? is looking pretty good to me now. Who needs the updates.
