Try the link again, it's working for me.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

We've shut the website down for repairs so the links I've given for downloads probably won't work.

This should be fixed within 24 hours

Martin,

I am using your DLL to communicate with the RFXtrx433 transceiver from rfxcom. It works great! Thank you very much. I wonder if it is possible to recompile your code to 64-bits. This would help me connecting to my 64-bit database.

I hope to hear from you.

grashopper,

it is possible, and it is something I would like to  get done, but it won't be soon. Sorry.

Hi, martin!

I was faced with such a problem.
If the COM port is busy any program, then pops up this message:

fd28f90d894cf65751e1b9fd5972503f.png

And I do not know how to remove it. I want myself to handle the errors connected to the COM port.

Can you help me? Thank you!

AMSPeople,

I have made a quick fix and sent a version to you in a PM. Let me know if it helps.

;COM Vars
Global $CMPort =     ;  Port  (i would like my script detect the Port off data card automatically without choosing com port, it's possible in autoit? Pls help me out, Thanks so much)
 
Global $CmBoBaud = 9600 ;  Baud
Global $CmboDataBits =  8   ;  Data Bits
Global $CmBoParity = "none"   ;  Parity
Global $CmBoStop = 1     ;  Stop
Global $setflow = "NONE"    ;  $setflow
Global $comboflow = "NONE"
 
_CommSetport(CMPort , $sportseterror, $CmBoBaud, $CmboDataBits, $CmBoParity, $CmBoStop, $setflow)

I don't know that function and I can't find it. Can you give a link to it or tell me more about it?

(I would have used _CommListPorts probably.)

I sent the new version to clicklogin and it worked ok for him, but it didn't help AMSPeople.

Since it can have some benifit I have updated the download in post 1 to use the dll version 2.81.

Hi Martin,

I am quite new to Autoit and found your COM scripts so useful, I am using the following code to communicate to a Sparkfun Pro Micro 5V/16MHz it works excellent under win 7 ultimate but under win XP Pro I am getting the "The parameter is incorrect port = COM7 channel number = 1" error, according to the other posts is because of the baud rate being too high but I am working in 9600 so it does not look that it could be that, also I am using the version 2.90 of your library, your help is highly apreciated.

;Include the Serial UDF
#include 'CommMG.au3'
 
;Internal for the Serial UDF
Global $sportSetError = ''
 
;COM Vars
Global $CMPort = 7                ; Port
Global $CmBoBaud = 9600            ; Baud
Global $CmboDataBits =  8        ; Data Bits
Global $CmBoParity = "none"        ; Parity
Global $CmBoStop = 1            ; Stop
Global $setflow = 2                ; Flow
 
;Start up communication with the device
_CommSetPort($CMPort, $sportSetError, $CmBoBaud, $CmboDataBits, $CmBoParity, $CmBoStop, $setflow)

;Send Command

_CommSendstring("1",0)

JamesOS2,

The first thing to check is that COM7 is correct on the XP PC. You can look in device manager or use the example script supplied with the UDF. I don't think the error is anything to do with the baud rate.

Hi Martin,

Thanks, took a while but I have check all COMS from 3 to 8 they work fine with other programs that use the same device, I have reinstalled xp and all the pc drivers and still no luck, for a reason I am getting the same error. Your help is appreciated.

If you use the example script I supply are the COM ports all listed in the combo box?

If you select COM 7 do you get an error with my script?

Can you post the exact code you are using. If it works in W7 then it should work in XP.
