Well, just recently purchased one of these sorta nifty microchips but since i can not get them to work, not so nifty. I keep getting a hardware not found on COM1 error with a list of potential problems with none of them that apply to me apparently. My hardware is connected, my software is most current, power is 7805 5v, circuit checked a ton of times with extra help. My serial baud rate was 9600, i tried 2400 after reading online you need to use slower transmit rate. Do i need a MAX232 bridge? Any suggestions?
