Thanks for helping! It shouldn't need to be this complicated though, so I'll see what I can do. Knowing that the BT pairing needs to be done in order for my driver to work is useful information, but means I'll have to do a larger change to my driver to access the board using Bluetooth rather than the COM port provided. Now I know why Lars does that in his driver! It's not the end of the world as I do it for Certabo already.

But can I ask everyone using this for a favour? Can you run my ComPort program and go to the Bluetooth tab, and then see what Channel it says the Millennium uses. I think it will be 6, but if you have different Channels then I will need to add some extra, slower, searching code to locate it each time.

Meanwhile, my change shouldn't have broken the USB connection. It means that my assumption about what works on one type of board board will work on all of them was wrong! I can easily adjust that and should be able to release a fixed version 2.5.1 in the next day or two.

Thanks!

Hi Graham,

yes, i talked to Thomas about it

Lars

Hi Mike, can you please try 2.5.1 as I think I have fixed the USB problem.

Thanks,
Graham

Hi Graham,
I´ll do in the evening today after work.
Thanks,
Mike

No, I´ve tested the driver 2.5.1 with my King Performance/Win10-64/Arena 3.5.1
No connection via usb or bluetooth for me. Maybe i do something wrong.

My tip is:

First try to get BearChess to work with the Performance. After that, the problems with the other programs have almost solved themselves.

Also es muss an mir oder meinem Rechner liegen.
Bekomme auch mit Bearchess keine Verbindung mit meinem ChessLink zustande, per USB schon.
In meinen Bluetooth-Einstellungen werden die Millennium Chess Geräte auch nur als gekoppelt angezeigt, nicht als verbunden. Hmh.
Am Wochenende geht es in Ruhe weiter.
Einen schönen Abend und vielen Dank für die bisherige Unterstützung.
Mike

Hi Mike,

In the Config tab of my driver there is the option to turn on "Create log file". Can you enable that, Save and then deactivate the board, leave Arena and start again? This time it will create a file called MCL_DLL.log and that will contain all of the information about what is being sent and received. Please send it to me at my email address which is graham followed by @ and then the domain name of my site (goneill.co.nz).

Thanks
Graham

Thanks for your help.
I´ll try it at the weekend (if I have the motivation for this).

Mike

Okay, ich habe noch etwas festgestellt.
Bei Verbinden des ChessLink mit meinem Handy (Chess fpr Android) blinkt die Statusanzeige meines ChessLinks in Grün.
Das tut sie bei der Verbindung mit meinem PC nicht!
Muss also an der Connection mit meinem Rechner liegen, dass Arena oder BearChess über Bluetooth mein Performance nicht finden.
Wie gesagt, mein Board wird nur als gekoppelt, nicht als verbunden bei meinem Rechner angezeigt.
LG
Mike
