Loss of communication
Posted: Fri Jul 12, 2013 2:39 pm
I picked up a new machine (PC) recently.
When I started downloading large BASIC programs, there were often loss of communication errors. Seemed like it had to do with certain constructs being used in BASIC, so I eliminated those, but...
Recently it started happening more frequently. So I updated the FTDI driver, but still no luck.
Finally I logged onto the HP website and did a check for driver updates, turns out there were a lot of them. And what do you know, the BASIC download problem went away.
Moral of the story; when hardware issues crop up, make sure your system is up to date.
