AM4 and Air Player 4 are not detecting the Knobster
Re: AM4 and Air Player 4 are not detecting the Knobster
The old version will never be visible as a Knobster in the Windows device manager, because it's just a regular com port device. It sounds like you haven't got the correct com drivers (FTDI) installed.

Where can I get correct drivers? I might not be looking at the right page at Sim Innovation Wiki.
It is a Windows 10 laptop.

HI Ralph, is the old version using a CH340 ? - or an FTDI - the link you post is for the CH340Ralph wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 6:28 am There are various places, like this one:

I guessed the CH340, but might indeed be a different one. He will have to take a look at the physical hardware to be sure.
Re: AM4 and Air Player 4 are not detecting the Knobster
Ah, yes sorry.. I wrongly presumed the 'old version' was a bought product. if he is using his own board, it may well be a CH340. - in fact probably will !
I 'think' win 10 has FTDI drivers built in or at least auto install. You are almost certainly correct with the CH340.
These will need to be added but is straight forward.
Always good to have the manufacturer's link as well. This is it -

Re: AM4 and Air Player 4 are not detecting the Knobster
It might still be a bought version. But they were produced by Simware Kits, so I have no idea what they used.
Re: AM4 and Air Player 4 are not detecting the Knobster
Thanks for the info. I always thought they were produced by you guys ? . I believe Russ was involved ?? but really do not know the history. Thanks for the heads up.

It was Russ together with Chuck. We were only involved on the software side.

Ah, understood, that makes sense now.
