Yesterday I made my first attempt to upload the latest firmware to my FlightDek D180 and failed miserably. I kept getting the message "Error
connecting to FlightDek D180: can't find instrument on any serial port
Please close any programs which may be using a comm or serial port."
For some background, this is my continuing battle to eliminate a high fuel
pressure alarm. I have installed the Kavlico sensor, downloaded the latest
Dynon firmware - 5.4.3 and downloaded the Prolific software driver for the
USB to serial port and Van's unlock file.
My problem is, how do you bring the Prolific driver into play? Do you power up the EFIS (with the GPS turned off) , plug the USB to serial converter into
the lap top then go to where the Prolific program resides on the laptop and
click on "run" and then follow the prompts from the firmware program?
Thanks for any help
