Step 13Controller software - introduce it to your hardware
To get the controller to talk to the machine, change to the setup tab and then click on the serial button. This will pop up a little window with a list of the available serial ports in it. If you know which one to try, click it. If not, just go through them, waiting for a couple of seconds between each one until you see the top line of the main window turn green and show Polargraph READY!
The hardware broadcasts that it's ready every couple of seconds, which is why you might need to wait. If you don't want to connect it (because you haven't got a machine yet) just choose no serial connection.
Job done! Close the serial port window and then click save properties in the control panel, so the controller remembers it for next time.
