Hi,
Had an old AXE022 proto board with a 28X in it. My Windoze 7 PC no longer has an RS232 port, so my son gave me his USB to RS232 cable. The Picaxe software seems to recognise the cable on COM14, COM15 and COM16 but checking the Firmware version fails as it cannot detect the hardware.
Can I save myself more than $20 Australian buying this AXE047 USB cable by persisting with this ATEN cable? The software for the ATEN seems to be a driver only and not a program as I do not seem to be able to configure it in any way. By the way, just pressed a 28X2 chip in after removing the old 28X.
Thanks.
