Hello,
trying out this product on several PCs.
On Windows XP SP2 (32bit) when I try to install one of the several drivers, new from Velleman website, and old from the packaged CD, it seems to install the driver correctly, how ever after I finish the installation it prompts for new hardware found again. I can go on with this forever and nothing seems to change.
Under device manager I can see PCSU1000 under COM -dropdown menu, but not under USB. As far as I have figured out it should be listed under both of them.
I’ve also tried running Usbview too, but I don’t really know about the technical stuff here. It shows and yellow/black exclamation [code]Device Descriptor:

I have also tried installing some sort of FTDI drivers with no success.
When I try plugging it in a newer machine with Windows 7 (32bit) I can’t install any drivers for it, how ever it appears to be installed on the machine. Opening the software however says that the PCGU1000 is NOT connected.
Now at this point I’m really starting to think if this device is defect. It doesn’t have any light to indicate that it’s doing anything even though I’ve connected the power adapter on it too. I read the forums about it and it appears that the light should be on only when it’s ready to work (software running and drivers installed).
I can’t either apply the LED-fix I read about on this forum on it either, but I doubt that will help anyway in this case?
