Question to Tony re: logoedit - 16/08/2006 01:14
Hi Tony,
Question about logoedit, can you change the com port to com5 or other number?
In "Select com port" choices are 1-4. and of course mine is on Com5.
Don't seem to be able to change my com port number allocation, and probably don't wanna (everything working fine now) took a while to get new computer config right and had to install a serial pci card also, and just upgraded to 100GB !!!
Thanks for any help

Just run LogoEdit, and select COM4, then *try* to send a logo (it will fail).
Next, close the program, and edit the LogoEdit.ini file it created, using notepad or wordpad.
Find the line "MyCOMPort=4", and change the 4 to a 5, and save the modified file.
Finally, run LogoEdit again. It should now be using COM5.

You sly devil, Mark. I didn't know that would even work. :-)
Anyway. Another way to get the same job done is to run UPLOAD.EXE by hand. Please look in the README.TXT file for instructions on how to do it. Flash memory addresses for kernels and logos are listed in the FAQ.

tried mark's idea but got the following error:-
Error: Incorrect parameters passed to upload.
----------------------------------------------------------
-ERROR: Couldn't open com port. -
---------------------------------------------------------
Press the Enter key to continue.
So no luck with that .
have yet to work out how to do Tony's method

Yeah, OK, upload.exe is hard coded to accept the parameters 1-4 only.
If you've got a C compiler, you're welcome to fidget with it. Source code attached.

Can you use [url=http://www.riocar.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=7&faqent=82#82hyperterminal to access the empeg's console[/url]? Just making sure that the serial port is working properly.

Why don't you just change the port # to something between 1 and 4? Device Manager -> Ports -> Properties -> Advanced -> COM Port Number

Yeah, I'm with him. If you're not using both a modem and a serial mouse at the same time, then you should be able to safely set the com port to whatever you want.
Odds are, you don't even have a modem, and your mouse is USB.

Well, keep in mind I only added a few lines to Hugo's prior code, so talk to him about standards.

Just just now tried right-click-save-target-as with IE6 under WinXP, and the file is perfectly readable afterwards with Notepad and Wordpad.

I'm pretty much a noob, but it compiled. In theory it may work. I didn't test it.

And the source. I only made a few changes. The first ones that jumped out at me, so I could be completely wrong.
