Winkeyer issue in 2.6.1.0

[IK3LLS]

Hello all,
I made an winkeyer interface using K3NG sketch (winkeyer emulator) with an Arduino nano and worked well in 2.4.0 and 2.5.0 releases (all portable release).

Since 2.6.1.0 (portable) doesn't work anymore, see below some rows from Realtime Log:

I tried also to start Log4OM with administrator privileges but no differences, always timeout.
Thanks for your help.

Update, this morning I tried to snif the COM between Log4OM and winkeyer, these are the results:

2.5.0

2.6.1

From 2.5.0 it is possible to see the cmd Host Open [00-02] and Load Defaults [0F-46-...] while in 2.6.1 it is almost blank (only first 0x13 byte sent (btw, is it Load EEprom cmd request?).

Hi, the only thing that changed is a DTREnable command sent during initialization phase to raise DTR pin and support serial winkeyers giving them the power they expect through the DTR pin.
That should not change anything i suppose...

Luigino,

I have just tested Winkeyer support in the latest release and so have members of the Alpha team and its working fine in both the installed and portable versions.

So there is something particular to your installation or setup causing the issue, sorry I cant help further other than to confirm this is not a problem being experienced by others

Having the same interface as Terry and i can say all is fine here too. Winkeyer support
in V2 works as it should.
