com 9 not 95

 

Problem solved but thanks ?

 

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Is everything going well?

So, what did the problem turn out to be? Your code looks fine, except that com95.

 

hi
it turned out to be my software as the older version did not recognize the 08m2 as soon as i down loaded the recent version and fired it up , it worked !! it has the 08m2 listed in the older software that's why i did not realize , it caused me some pain really as i checked and double checked my circuit , board and wiring !!!! anyway happy days but thanks for the reply !!
cheers
