There are still a number of people who seem to be unable to get the Config Tool to work correctly and are getting the dreaded "Something is wrong" message (I am one of them).I used the serial port sniffer ASP to look at the data going from the Config Tool application and coming from the Ardupilot (fitted with shield but no GPS and ver 2.2 software). The attached file shows all the activity including setting up the port and then finally sending and receiving data with the data in Hex when I press Write to write blank data to the A/Pilot.It seems a block of data is sent to the A/Pilot and that it responds.Can Jordi or Chris tell what is happening or not happening?regards PeterSerial data when using config tool 280609.doc

Is that the erro because of the cable type or why is that error?
Thanks

and the data sheet of the sparksucks module is here:

The only difference i can tell is that the reset signal in one is #RTS (FTDI cable) and in SF module is connected the DTR. I ignore whats going on...
Sorry but i can't see directly any problem. I must have the hardware in my hands in order to debug. Mine is working perfectly, i don't see the way to repair something that is working for me =). The only way to solve this issue i guess is until an expert in programming that is experienced in the problem and understands the ISP protocol and all the variables is the one that will tell me exactly what the problem is in his current hardware. I can do it but i toll you i need the hardware in my hands.
