It would be awesome if Siri ( iphone) can directly interact with CastleOs.

Check out this video from Gizmodo.

Hello,

You may find answering the question in its requested form trivial. however, to me its confusing to determine what a plm is when you compare it to the actual device names. if i am confused i am sure others are as well.

I am looking to purchase a new interface and i don't want to waste my time purchasing the wrong item.
Hopefully this clears up the reason behind my info request.

Hi, so I installed that executable and now it understand what the USB device is. However, the fun does not stop here.
I have tried to install CastleOs on port 1 ( the response I get back is

"Unable to contact the PLM. Please try another COM port, and ensure it's connected"

I have installed Castle OS on port 3 and 4 and I get either a redirect loop or what appears to be a good install but I am not able to control anything via CastleOS.

When I look at the error xml file I see that access is denied for comport 3 and 4?
the latest install shows this in the error log:

every install has been a clean install. meaning, i deleted all entries from programdata ( castleOS) I have removed the software using the un installer, and removed util dev as well. The last attempt was com 4.

I will try clean install now and get back to you in a few minutes following the directions mentioned above. by the way I mentioned earlier that the urls that are created by the installer and placed on the desktop do not work,. that has not changed..it still gives the same error with a blank url in quotes
