I have been trying with every port and every other combination to try to make it work on a new laptop with only usb ports and xp OS but failed.
I had to take a very old laptop with 150MHZ to be happy.
Has anyone succesful tested an USB to Serial adapter to make the externa control work? Will be pleased to know.
Another solution might be a PCMCIA card with serial com port

What if COM5..COM9? COM1..COM4 are historically on-board so this CAN cause conflicts.
True - initially I was working with COM 7, but it didn't seem to make any difference to XNote's behaviour.T-Rex wrote:5. Start the stopwatch

It is very amusing. XNote tries to own port only when:Apparently a simple start/stop of stopwatch does not impact. Quite possible that something else in the system just releases the port with the lapse of time.
- You close configuration box with Enabled option on
- You launch the software with External Control previously enabled
- Timer timeouts with Raise a signal on port option on
Possibly, I'm not 100% convinced that I can get it to work following the same steps every time.T-Rex wrote:Maybe time to get XNote working via the USB Port?
USB doesn't allow direct manipulations of wires.
