Hi Philippe,

I'm based in England, and I will try to help you if I can, since it will be 
mid-day tomorrow before Duxbury will see any messages.

First, can you tell me if you are blind please?  If you are not, I will be able 
to send you screen pictures if I need to, otherwise I will do my best to 
explain in words.

1) Can you tell me how you have the ELEKUL connected to the PC.  Is it with 
Parallel Connection or Serial?  And are you quite sure you are using the 
correct cable?

2) Have you been able to prove that the ELEKUL and the PC are talking to each 
other?  The way I usually do this, is to go into a DOS Window, and at the 
Command prompt, I send a simple text file to the port.

For example:-

copy myfile.txt>lpt1

or possibly:-

copy myfile.txt>com1

3) If the ELEKUL is connected to the Serial Port, have you made sure that the 
Serial Parameters of the ELEKUL and also the PC are set to the same?

4) In Duxbury, in the Global settings, are you using a Port:, or Windows Device 
(Périph. Windows)?

5) What does the ELEKUL User's Manual say about connecting to a PC.  Does it 
tell you if there are any special drivers required?

Sorry to ask so many questions, but your answer may help to find out what is 
wrong.
