I have a Mac connecting to a 600W converter v3.07. Everything seems to work fine: data, settings etc.
But when I try to program the 3.08 version I get:
Then the baudrate switches down to 9600 and the raw data shows lots of junk and I have to reconnect.
Same happens with both the 3.08 .hex update as well as the eprom clear .hex.
Any ideas?
