Back then I was only able to make one contact with your support. Multiple further support attempts were ignored, so I left it in indefinite abeyance.

Same problem with COM1 on another computer but managed to convert COM1 to COM3 using the technique at the following site. COM3 is now in device manager & is now available in Arduino 1.06, but FT 232X USB UART is still shown asterisked as ‘other’ in device manager.

Interestingly, my Uno is seen by COM3 on the problem computer.

Tried uploading firmware 1.7 from Github but there were numerous code errors, mainly of a non- declaration nature. I am unable to post the errors, since for some reason the transfer to the clipboard would not happen.

I have reinstalled the reset jumper on the front mainboard.

My Win XP computer is a desktop with an RS232, 9 pin serial port. COM 1 remains in device manager when the osPID is diconnected. The osPID is shown as ‘other’ & is asterisked.

Isn’t the osPID supposed to show the already installed firmware. It doesn’t.

In hindsight,and for my purposes, it would have been helpful if a block diagram of the hardware and their connections existed on your site::)

Thanks again
Brenton

Thank you for reply.

I have now installed IDE 1.06 but still have no success in installing the firmware. The same message ‘not in sync’.

I presume the note regarding ‘reset’ is intended to mean ‘remove the jumper’ I have now done that. Is this the correct procedure?. Should the jumper be replaced after the install of the firmware?

When I installed 1.06 on my Windows XP I could see that the driver was being installed but the XP hardware wizard still wants to install it, but is unable to do so. Device manager shows Com port 1 as OK. Is that the correct port? The FT232X USB UART is separately asterisked. Should it instead appear next to Com 1?

At this stage I have not connected an SSR & thermocouple? Is that OK for installing the firmware & front end?

I have had to install Arduino as ADMIN but I have been unable to change the permissions to use it as USER???

Thanks again

I have now managed to find resources on most of the implementations, but still cannot upload the firmware, as indicated in my previous post. Some help is really needed on this. Thank you.

Waste of time & money without further help.

At the moment the osPID only functions as a door stop.

Some help PLEASE!

I need some help on my previous post, please.

Thank you.

Yes, the controlP5 folder is where you say it should be, but it only has html files in it.

Re your edit/update #2 I have no “Toggle t” line in the osPID_FrontEnd.pde

NB: I am using Win32 not 64

Thanks again
