Hi Folks,
I have been using a serial<-->bluetooth adapter on my brultech for a while with no issues at all on Windows XP. I have recently updated to Windows 7, and my bluetooth adapter now starts numbering COM ports at 40.
When I go into the ECM120 Engine program it does not show those COM ports as being available....
I look in the log file and if I hit the drop down to pick a port it fills up with a bunch of "8002 Invalid port number COM Error"
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

Type in "Device Manager" in your Start Menu and open the program. Locate your adapter (I'm assuming it's a Zigbee dongle?), and double-click on it, it's mostly likely under the Ports section.
Go to the Port Settings tab and click "Advanced", you should be able to specify a COM port number there.

I will try that - its actually a bluetooth serial port, so not sure if that option is available to me...
I will let you know.

Ahh, that makes sense, it should work in the same fashion I'd assume. It may be under Bluetooth devices though.mathewbeall wrote:I will try that - its actually a bluetooth serial port, so not sure if that option is available to me...
