A few things:
1. I hooked up the first z-troller to a direct serial connection. According to Windows device manager, the z-troller is connected to the direct serial port at 9600 baud.
2. When I hooked the second z-troller (i.e. the z-troller that succeeded at 115,200 baud) up to the IP2SL, I used exactly the same cables and power supply that I had used with the first z-troller (i.e. the z-troller that fails at 115,200 baud, but which can connect and function at 9600 baud).
3. I'm having no luck flashing the first z-troller using the direct serial connection. The v1.17 installer software can't read the z-troller's version number, and it reports it isn't able to flash the z-troller either. I'm puzzled as to what the issue could be. For comparison, I tried hooking up the second z-troller to the very same cable as the first controller, and the v1.17 installer software could read its version number just fine.
4. Lastly, I tried connecting the first z-troller to the direct serial port using the second z-troller's new cable (fresh out of the box). No joy that time either in using the v1.17 installer software. It can't read the z-troller's version number, and it can't flash it either.
Hence, I could not reflash the firmware on the problematic z-troller. Also, it does not appear to be a cabling issue.
What else can I do or try? Is there any sort of hidden reset button on the z-troller itself that I can press?
