Hitec flash 5 to pc connection problem
 

I can't use my Hitec flash 5 on my computer to fly with fms.
The computer doesn't recognise anything. I use a simple serial port interface and win98.
I followed the instructions on :

http://www.helihobby.com/html/fms_manual.html

Nothing, I tried with the cristal removed....nothing.

I don't know what is PCM and PPM mode an don't know if my radio is cabable of switching modes. (fms uses only PPM mode)

The page your link points to does not have any instructions for "a simple serial port interface" that I can see. Which instructions are you using ? What exactly is your interface ? Did you build it or buy it ? Where did you get it from or what circuit did you use ?

I used the instructions of that site that's all. My interface was bought at http://www.adteknik.se/english/ , it's a simple interface that enters through the serial/joystick port not the parrallel or USB port. If you know a website for instructions for "a simple serial port interface" please indicate it to me. THX

Sorry but "Serial port" and "Joystick port" are completely different types of interface. Which is it ?

Can't you ask the people you bought it from how it should be installed ?

I'am using the serial not the joystick port sorry for the mistake.
Well I sent an email to them last week still waiting for a reply.
