Re: Altrax 500 programming
I'm running Windows 11 on my work laptop and it runs the Toolkit software just fine.
If you have Windows 10 or up you have to disable Safe mode in order to use anything outside of their app store, but once its disabled you can run pretty much everything. If you have a chromebook or other similar type pad you won't be able to run the full version of windows with those. It has to be on an actual laptop or PC. |

Re: Altrax 500 programming
The compatibility mode seems to be the solution for older software running on Win 7/10. For connection to the DCX controller it still needs a serial com port, either usb / serial or what i've used with the Laptop, a pcmcia / serial adaptor.

Looking at picture for kit from Alltrax it shown cable from controller with serial cable and adapter cable to USB. My Radio Shack cable is RS232 to USB. It worked with the XP computer when I installed the controller. I think my computer skills are my undoing. |

Re: Altrax 500 programming
Are you certain that the controller is powered up when you are asking the program to find it?

What does concern me is that the RoyPow battery has to be removed to access the controller. I'm 73 and the battery weighs 95#s. I removed and plugged the cable in the controller and ran the cable to battery well and reinstalled the battery. Concerned about connection integrity. I will remove battery and check just hope its not the cable or software that the problem. Thanks again for you guy's and your help. |

Re: Altrax 500 programming
If the controller has power, you should see the green light either on or flashing IIRC. The software can’t see the controller if there’s no power to it. The newer software provides power from your laptop….but older models/software do not.

Re: Altrax 500 programming
Not sure of the age of the controller but there is a version 38 for older units.
