Hi guys,
I had my VK202-25-USB and LCDsmartie set up about two years ago and have finally upgraded. Of course I don't remember how to do it now. Could someone tell me what setting I need to use?

Here is all the information about the setup:
Under Device Manager I found three devices and have listed their respective port settings.

Communication Port (COM1)
Port Settings: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None


Matrix Orbital MX2/MX3/MX6 USB driver (COM3)
Port Settings: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None

In LCDsmartie I ahve the following settings:
Display Plugin: matrix.dll
Setup parameter: COM3, 9600
Screen: LCD Size: 2x20

Ive played around with selecting different COM ports as well as setting different baud rates. All I get is garbage on my Matrix Orbital Screen.

Anyone have the correct settings?

Except for the baudrate everything looks fine, give 19200 a try and see if that improves things.
