| <li><p>You can minimize the large header by clicking the small icon next the words "OP Config." This will reduce the window enough that it will fit on a screen of 768 pixels tall. <a href="http://openpanzer.org/forum/index.php?topic=46" target="_blank">Please see this thread in the forum</a> for a discussion.</p></li> | <li><p>You can minimize the large header by clicking the small icon next the words "OP Config."

| <li><p>Make sure the Baud Rate in OP Config is set correctly. For USB connections it should always be 115,200. That is usually also the best rate for Bluetooth as well, unless you specifically changed it on the </html>[[wiki:opconfig:tabs:misc#baud_rates|Misc tab]]<html> for some reason.</p></li> | <li><p>Make sure the Baud Rate in OP Config is set correctly.

| <li><p>Make sure you don't have any other programs connected to the TCB, for example the Arduino IDE. Sometimes if you did have another program connected (such as the Arduino IDE), even if you close that Windows will still think the COM port is taken. Close OP Config, unplug the TCB, then plug the TCB back in. Then re-open OP Config and try connecting again.</p></li> | <li><p>Make sure you don't have any other programs connected to the TCB, for example the Arduino IDE.

| <li><p>As a workaround, some users have found they can create a connection by first going to the Firmware tab of OP Config and clicking the Snoop button. If a Snoop connection is successful you will see a notification to that effect at the bottom of the window, and the TCB will spit out some information in the console window. It may be a lot of information if the radio receiver is connected/detected. The Snoop connection only listens to the TCB, it doesn't talk. But if that part works, you are already halfway to a full connection. With the Snoop connection active, now try to click the Connect button and the full communication connection should be made.</p></li> | <li><p><b>Alternate connection method:</b> If all else fails, try creating a connection using the longer two-step process. As usual select the correct COM Port, but instead of trying to connect go to the Firmware tab of OP Config and click the Snoop button.

It may be a lot of information if the radio receiver is connected/detected. The Snoop connection only listens to the TCB, it doesn't talk. But if that part works, you are already halfway to a full connection. After the TCB has completed printing debug information, now click the Connect button and the full communication connection should be made.</p></li> |
