[WT-support] Test request: anyone with a rotator that you're controlling with wtRotators or PstRotatorsAz or ARS-USB

[Pablo - EA4TX]

Bob,
 
I have just tested it and now it works!
 
I have connected a ARS-USB (rotor interface) to the computer and
reconfigured as COM10. Later I open wtRotators 1.4.1, and I got the same
error you have described. Finally I tested again with wtRotators 1.4.2 and
it worked!

So it seems the new wtRotators 1.4.2 fixs the Pb.

Regards, Pablo EA4TX

I recently opened Task #344
<http://flyspray.win-test.com/index.php?id=344&do=details>  when I
discovered that wtRotators would not connect with a rotator on COM10 or
higher, only COM9 and below. 

Unfortunately, I'm now away from the station where I was trying this (W7RN),
and before I left I reconfigured every rotator to use COM9 and below.

So, can anyone with a computer-controlled rotator please try the new
version?

Step by step:

1.	Use Windows Device Manager (DEVMGMT.MSC) to change the rotator's COM
port address to COM10 or higher (expand "Ports (COM & LPT)", double-click on
COMx, click on Port Settings tab, click Advanced, change COM port number to
COM10 or higher, press OK) 
2.	Start the old wtRotators 1.4.1 or 1.3, select Controllers -> Edit,
and change the COM port to COM10 or higher (same one selected in step 1) 
3.	Verify that you now get the message "COM1x failed to open, Com port
already in use?" 
4.	Exit wtRotators and start wtRotators_dev.exe (wtRotators 1.4.2, from
http://download.win-test.com/wtRotators/nightly/wtRotators_dev.zip, save in
Win-Test install directory) 
5.	Does it work?  If not, verify that you really started 1.4.2 (click
Help -> About)

Thanks!
