Hello there, I have had my zed f9p and esp 32 caster set up and working perfectly! Today I had to move it to a new location and wanted to do the new survey in set up. I plugged my unit in to the pc but now I centre will not register the device. The right com port shows up but it’s not highlighted in bold. I have a spare unit and it also dose the same. I’ve tried multiple usb ports and cables with no success. I am I missing something? I even deleted u centre and re installed the drivers. Any suggestions would help!
Thank you!
Hi @sixthsantos,
Try connecting only the ZED board to your computer using USB. Disconnect everything else. Do the LEDs on the ZED board light up normally?
Try disconnecting the antenna too. Does u-center recognize the board when you do this? (Maybe you have a short on your antenna cable?)
Best wishes,
Paul
Hello Paul,
Figured this issue out after hours of trouble shooting, windows will not allow the vcp’s to connect when multiple programs that can access them are running. I had a 3d slicer software running in the background with a 3d model ready to be uploaded thus it also wanted access to the ports! Closed the program and it connected right away!
Thank You!
