Hi Wilse, tell a bit more details, please. What Windows 7 do you run, 32-bit or 64-bit? Has your PC a physical COM port or a PCI card with 1 or more COM ports or do you use a USB-to-Serial adapter? The USB-to-Serial adapters require Windows 7 compatible drivers.
What is the COM port number of your port? You can check that with the Windows device manager, LPT and COM ports. I have no problems with rotor steering via a COM port under Windows 7, 32-bit and Vista 32- and 64-bit via physical ports and also via USB-to-Serial adapters (Prolific and FTDI). There is a link "Vista and Windows 7 compatibility" on my website www.dk1tb.de , Englisch page "Downloads" with detailed information. 73s, Erich, DK1TB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wilse Morgan" <wi...@centurytel.net> To: <amsat-bb@amsat.org> Sent: Saturday, August 07, 2010 2:55 AM Subject: [amsat-bb] Rotor >I just changed computers also fro XP to"7". > I can no longer get GS-232 rotor control to turn rotor. > Any ideas?? > 73 Wilse WX7P > _______________________________________________ > Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
