New Datamaster with USB-->Serial cable?

[TYTILIDIE]

I am trying to use the new version of Datamaster. I bought a USB to serial adapter and drivers were installed automatically. When I do a TESTCOM it says adapter is is working but no PCM. Is this a problem in DM or likely the cable?

Likely the USB to serial adapter. Did you follow DMs instructions on setting up the USB ->serial driver?

I tried 4 different usb adapters, none of them worked. I gave up and got the usb cable from aldlcable.com They all gave me the same message you are getting.

I did not, and the only reason why is because the second I plugged it in, it searched for drivers, found it and said it was good. I guess I was too trusting.

BTW, didn't mean to post this here, I am half asleep I guess.

There's kind of a special process to setting up the FTDI drivers for DM. It's in their help file.

Generally, though, USB adapters are hit-and-miss. I use the Moates stuff for a reason... it works without hassle.

I will try the instructions the way you said, if it doesn't work, I guess I am buying the ALDU1?
