Connection problem between CoolTerm and Oregon RFID Reader

Post by Bela »

Hello there,
I'm working with an Oregon RFID HDX Multiple Antenna PIT Tag Reader (https://www.oregonrfid.com/products/hdx ... ag-reader/) and CoolTerm as a user interface. I can connect to the reader (in means of pressing the connection button in CoolTerm) but the prompt is not appreaing and i can't write anything in CoolTerm.
The connection is trough a COM Port (USB-cable). I was able to connect to the Reader before with CoolTerm but now its not working anymore. I think the problem apreared after my latest Windows update.

I disabled the option "flow control" but still the green CTS lamp in CoolTerm is on the whole time when im connected to the reader. This is in contradiction to a tutorial from OREGON RFID https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elkIr-zIO5U. The TX lamp is flashing up when pressing any keyboard button but the RX lamp is not reacting anyhow.

We contacted the german OREGON RFID support but they werent able to help out in this particular situation.

Id be really happy if you have any suggestion :?
looking forward to your reply,
best regards

Hi,

this might be an issue with the driver for your device. Has the vendor made a new version available?
