Alltrax Smart Phone App??

caokgafamily · 05-13-2013, 08:15 AM

I hope everybody is doing well!

I'm helping a couple of buddies who own programable Altrax controllers. We have had some issue's because the laptop we used is loaded with windows 7. I guess the driver's for the cord USB to 9D? wont work with windows 7. My thought was why isn't there an Altrax APP and we could just use are smart phones? I'm sure there's some way we could get a cord to work thats compatable with our phones? Just a thought....

I program all my controls with a PC loaded with windows 7 64 bit - I use a serial to USB cable made by Gigaware.(possibly from Best Buy or some such electronics supply store)

Not all the cheaper ones worked for me but just to clear the air I am using both the old Alltrax Pro39 controller program and the new SPM Software.

Thanks for the info guy's. But wouldn't it be easier if we could just use our smart phones? Alltrax needs to come out with an APP that is compatable with Android and I phone.

Call them up and tell em that

And hooked to wifi so we don't need a cord, tell em Steve.

One of my buddy's OS is Windows 8 on lap top and we can't find a USB to DB9 driver, any thoughts?

If you can figure out who made the cable components you may find a driver from the source. My cable was made by XYZ but the components were Pantec I believe.
