According to Win 10 task manager, Server.SDX is not loading automatically when I run Sat32PC (latest version 12.8c). No error messages pop up to indicate this failure to load. If I start Server.SDX manually, it now shows up in task manager. Server.SDX is located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\SatPC32\SDX.
So... From here: http://www.dk1tb.de/indexeng.htm, I downloaded *e**. ServerSDX update *The ServerSDX file for Yaesu GS-232A/B amd compatible controllers that comes with the SatPC32 setup file outputs the target azimuth and elevation positions to the controller but doesn't read the actual positions from the controller. With the link below you can download a modified ServerSDX.exe that displays also the actual azimuth and elevation values.
The original Server.SDX and the "updated" Server.SDX were tested separately, appear to be the same file, and look the same to me. Neither one loads automatically with Sat32PC when placed in C:\Program Files (x86)\SatPC32\SDX. Both versions accept and store the com port in setup and I can manually input commands that show in "target", but when I do a "read position", I get error "no response from controller".
Here are some pix:
Server.SDX as opened manually (both versions):
After manual input:
After "read position":
1. Why no autoload of Server.SDX
2. Why no response from controller? Yes I did restart Sat32PC after making changes...
Any and all help appreciated.
