“Now the construction of the cable is finished and I have connected it. The sentence on the Red Wolf's display was "Welcome Super User".
Full of hope, I pressed the Connect button on the WinGCU-0.3 software....Connection failed.
I tried all the UART settings that I can make in the Windows settings but couldn't get a connection.„
Hi i had the same as above but then checked the thread again with the picture of Daystate Rebel completed hardware and mine was very slightly different in that the 1N4148 Diode the black end was the opposite way around. Checked on the web they only fit one way as they a one way diode so current flow only one way. Desoldered diode and fitted a new one right way around and tried again. It worked now i get connected and can my gun settings in the WinGCU Check yours this may be the problem while yours is not connecting.

I'm currently on a business trip to the Czech Republic for 2 weeks. When I get back I'll test it immediately, even before I hug my wife.

To be clear this is 100% guess.

Is it possible Daystate read this thread and added a handshake to their hardware. Easy to do and locks the DIY hardware out. I see this on other hardware platforms as corps lock in a small revenue stream. They call it a security protocol.
