whys my hyperterminal being mean to me?

so today i boot up the empeg, start hypertermial.. and its not taking any commands.. im like oh.. :sigh: so i leave hyperterinal on reset the player.. all of the boot info comes up go to type "q" it dosnt type into the shell.. i cant type anything in there i tried messing with all tyhe settings.. im sure its a simple fix.. anyone have any ideas?

Do you have the developer image installed?

I had that happen to me at work. I had to reboot my pc before it would take commands in hyperterminal again. I also noticed that it takes me about 20 tries to get the "q" and enter to work. I don't know if my player just boots too fast or what, but I have to keep hitting q and enter to get it to work.

I never use "q", I just hit ctrl-C (once the player is running), which always seems to work for me.

I will have to try that....

When this happened to me, it turned out that my serial cable was frayed. I discarded it for another serial cable, and all is now well.

Have you checked both ends of the serial cable to make sure it's plugged in properly?

ill try rebooting the computer.. oh ya devloper is in.. lol it wont let me type anything in the hyperterminal..

Set the flow control to none, that should fix it.

Yeah, I assumed he was already doing that, but you're right, we should make sure he's got everything set right. Justin, please read through this FAQ entry again and make sure all your settings are right.
