LI software changes; +12V needed?

[2006goat]

when I connect my computer to the LI to make software changes, does the LI still have to be powered from an external 12V source? or will the rs232 provide it power and ground?

Thanks.



On a related note, Cliff walked me through some setup difficulties that I was having yesterday. Fantastic customer service!

Cliff is godsend for the NA market. Hell i'd buy a LI just to have his service backing it more then for the performance of the product. Thank goodness he joined the LI team.

The company behind a product represents 80% of my decision to buy. 20% is the product itself.

You can have the best quality product in the world but if your CS sucks, i'd rather not do business with you.

Cliff ownz...Hehehe

and the Sensors MUST be DISCONNECTED from the CPU as well!

Out of curiosity, why is that?

That is a question better answered by Ivan or one of the designers.

Cause you really want that CPU "talks" to pc only, not to pc and sensors. The sensors also take some current from the cpu and you don't want that either.
