Hello Maximites! I just purchased a CMM1 and am currently waiting for a PS/2 KB to arrive and so I could use some help getting a connection though my Win 10 PC to work. I followed the directions to install the Silicon Chip USB Serial Driver, but after several attempts I couldn’t get Windows 10 to install it. It seems that driver is for Windows up to 8. I’m powering the CMM1 with a USB b cable connected to the PC. Any suggests on how to correct what I’m doing wrong would be appreciated! Thanks! |

Windows 10 doesn't need any driver to be supplied. The standard Windows drivers work out of the box. VK7JH MMedit  MMBasic Help |

Thanks TassyJim! I shall go back to not RTFM :) Is Teraterm still the preferred way to connect? |

TeraTerm is my preferred terminal program but it depends on what you are doing. (I do use MMEdit for most things) Jim VK7JH MMedit  MMBasic Help |

Just looking to learn programming for now. I'll hook it up directly to a KB/monitor at some point. I was able to connect through TeraTerm, but all I see is a flashing cursor. You might be able to tell I'm a novice when it comes to these small computers :) |

Start with the quick start tutorial in the CMM2 manual. Without a monitor your can't see any of the graphics but there are plenty of things to play with using a terminal. VK7JH MMedit  MMBasic Help |

Hi TassyJim, He is using a CMM1 (one...the old one). @Krall, The flashing cursor in Teraterm could also mean it is not yet connected. Did you select a COM port in teraterm setup/serial port menu, baudrate 38400 ? In my case it is COM25, but it will be different for your PC. The pull-down menu will show your options.  If you do, you will see a startup screen of the maximite  Now you can type in teraterm, and the CMM1 will act as if you type on a keyboard. Only difference is that this is a text based terminal. You cannot do graphics. Success Edited 2020-10-23 16:42 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

Hello Volhout, Thanks for clearing that up! I set those parameters from Device Manager within Win10. I was not aware it also had to be done within TeraTerm. Thank you for the screen shots, those are very helpful! I’ll try to connect again later. |

Thanks. I missed that. The quick start tutorial for the cMM2 is still a good place to start. I am not sure when that section got added to the manuals but the first part is still OK on the cMM1. Jim VK7JH MMedit  MMBasic Help |

Thanks again guys! I got it working...sort of. Can see the start screen and execute commands, but it's slow. I'll have to try another USB cable or port. |
