To replace hyper term, use Teraterm .
I was using version 4.66, but this is the latest version. Also you should be able to use a USB - serial adapter is you have no serial ports.

My machine has been up and running for a good while now, (Sharnoa build post), and I'm ready to get my 4th axis running. Pulled the servo and put it on the bench. Servo is "holding", but when I give it a move command it jerks and faults out the board. OK, just need a little tuning. I re-read the other post that covered that part, but still can't get the thing to communicate. In that post Larry writes of a better software than hyperterminal, but doesn't name it. What is it?
thanks

Loaded it last night. LKR popped right up, but it will not allow me to send anything to the board, ie carriage return. Cable ohms out ok. I think it may be the modem in my desktop. I'll buy the usb cable on the way home and try it on my laptop.
thanks
