Yes I was able to verify that the COM port was correct. See my response above about using a new laptop.

Sorry for the lapse in response. Had a family issue come up.I tried the following with the RTLduino:Three different USB cables. ( One of which was a new cable that I went out and bought just to make sure it as a good cable)Verified COM port, baud rate, etc. (I see the AT command, in the serial monitor, I type but no response at all from the RTLduino)If the firmware had been cleared how would I check for that?I did send an email to support but never saw a response, which i found very unusual as every other time I have contacted you I received a response. :)I am currently in the process of changing the laptop that I normally use. Got a little better laptop to use. Have not had a chance to trace back through all the steps yet, but I am going to. (I am guessing that maybe the failed email con…

Got a little better laptop to use. Have not had a chance to trace back through all the steps yet, but I am going to. (I am guessing that maybe the failed email connection might have been the laptop as well.)My biggest problem is that I had a hard time finding anything about "what happens if you can't connect to the RTLduino".Which by the way I am not sure how I am supposed to proceed with the firmware update if I can't get connected to the RTLduino. Any suggestions?

This never happens:Simply connect the microUSB port on the Rtlduino to your PC and launch a serial terminal program such as the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor or PuTTY. Set the baud rate of the terminal to 38,400. The terminal should display "AT COMMAND READY" and a # prompt from the Rtlduino. You can type "AT" through the terminal and receive an "OK" in response.And I can't find anything that says how to make the connection.
