Hi all,
I am trying to use the reader suite that came with a RFID chip to "add a serial reader" in order to perform a scan.
I installed a driver to use the demo software that came with the reader module, and I am able to use the demo software to interrogate the chip and find its ID. Doing this also meant that for COM3, the name of the driver appears in the drop down list and I am able to select it. I get this far but then when I try to select the reader, I get an error message !
Does anyone have any ideas what could be going wrong?
Here is an image of the selection from the drop down list:

The error message given is just "FAILED TO OPEN COM PORT COM3"
Any ideas would be really great! I was wondering whether I needed a different driver but it seems to be recognised and working for the other software.
Thanks,
Em
