Ok have tried all evening and have failed, Last weekend I put up my FTA KU dish and hooked up a MicroHD I got from a member here. I tuned it to 99W than decided to put in on 125W. When i came back after moving my dish i found the receiver in a boot loop. I did some looking on here for some help and determined I needed to get the USB serial cable. I bought one on ebay and got it today. I have tried uploading files with 2 different windows7 pcs and a virual windows xp pc. Each time i get to downloading the file to the receiver It tries to test the serial port. After about 10sec or so It give me a failed test message. I know I have the correct serial port selected. Any suggestions?
 
Gonna get Wally on here, to pick his brain he has used one more recently than I.
 
I think I was one of the first to go through this last Sept. and in my case the TX - RX pins were mislabeled and reversed on the USB to serial TTL device. Once that was figured out, it worked the first time.
 
here is what the device manager says, I tried re-installing the driver with no success ether. Have to check the cables this afternoon after church.

Did you use the zip from tvro.us/USB.zip?
 
Glad you got it going I was getting worried. :)

Figured it out and have it going now, The RX wire one the usb had come off the board. Thanks for the help guys.

The wire on the PCB came off? Those are from a new supplier not good Grrrr.

Please confirm.
 
Thanks for info Mr. Garrett. Got to check the new boards out.
 
I have been wanting to build a pic based flasher so no pc required.
