I am working on a project that is to use a vk204-25v (serial VFD) and attach to a usb serial adapter. My question is can i presume that LCDC will be able to connect to the com port the device (adapter) attaches itself too or must i connect to the device over com ports 1 or 2 only? I can force the device to connect to any com port and it will attach itself to the first available one (com1 assuming its not in use) but i figured i should ask first.
ohh and there is a special reason i am not using a usb vfd
Thanks,

LCDC Comunication Question

I have a similar problem. Before loading LCDC I also had TDK Bluetooth dongle. With Bluetooth loaded it moved all the new com port assignments into the COM50 range. When I installed LCDC it set itself up as COM56. Now each time the PC restarts LCDC says it cannot communicate with COM2. When I go in to configure/test the panel, it correctly identifies it as on COM56. After restarting I have to go in to the test protion then can imediately back out, without sending the panel anything and it will be working again. This is really an annoyance and I would like some suggestions to fix it please.
