AWE @#^%&$ HELP needed, new UltaLite
OK, this is where I am. I just received my new UltraLite, carefully unrapped the package, read the manual for whatever that was worth.
Next I downloaded Loader #2 for simplicity. Next I tried downloading the latest PGM file.
EDITED!!!!
I don't want folks to need to go to the last reply to know what the cure was!!! I called Scott at South Coast who spent time with me this morning cheking the receiver info. I HAD THE WRONG FILE, THAT FOR THE ULTRA INSTEAD OF THE ULTRA LITE!!!!
SORRY FOR THE $CREW UP FOLKS

Re: AWE @#^%&$ HELP needed, new UltaLite
What port do you have the loader set to. If you're using a usb to serial adapter you will need to use com port 4 or 5. Also where did you get the cable you are trying to use.

Re: AWE @#^%&$ HELP needed, new UltaLite
OK, I am looking at how to do it right now. Found a usb cable but I think I need to get into my system manager to assign a port. I'll be back....

Re: AWE @#^%&$ HELP needed, new UltaLite
Did you install the driver for the usb adapter? P.S No need to use the usb if your computer has a 9 pin serial port.

Re: AWE @#^%&$ HELP needed, new UltaLite
The driver is only needed if you have a usb to serial adapter cable.
