I have the latest DC controller running, codenamed Stinky diaper

Laptop is running windows 7

RTD_EXPLORER installs on windows 7 and runs.

The rtd-period is set to 100 ms and between 1 and 30 updates are logged before the terminal on the right freezes.

It starts again when you disconnect/connect.

Debug mode does not appear to do anything different. But it stops just as quickly.

There seems to be issues communicating when the controller is running. I have it logging in Hyperterminal on an older XP SP2 machine - the issue may be noise, but I don't see the noise changing between logging on different laptops?

I'm using a crappy USB to serial adapter ... is there a brand or a chipset that works well that I can use?
