Parallels 5 and SEQ

I have been using sequencer on mac with parallels 5 for a few days now. And of and on it works great…

But the connection keeps dropping out. It stops reacting to commands and then when i restart it says that the ssc32 is not found!
I also have a problem with the init positions of the servos. In lynxterm i adjusted al the servos but when i start seq it says that no settings for the servos have been found!

What am i doing wrong?

This is in the debug:

You are describing a problem with bidirectional communications. We do not support mac, but I will try to help. What sort of USB to serial cable are you using? If you are lucky it’s made by, or with parts from FTDI. If yes look into the driver for “latency”. Make it as small as you can. This will speed up the comms and probably fix the problem.

Thank you. I found the problem. I was working on some code and when tje servo
moved it switched over a signal toggler. That’s why i lost connection.

I do have a ftdi cable.
