My Widget is the second widget Tommy Tyler ever made. It has always been a bit quirky when working with IRScope as it will not auto detect the COM port.
I haven't used my widget since August, and when I plugged it in today,I was in for an unpleasant surprise, the COM Ports are no longer listed in my device manager.
I googled and found out how to reveal my legacy com ports. The instructions were not clear, nor correct, but I did get them to show.
The Com port is showing up with the dreaded yellow triangle, I read the widget documents and did not see anything about a driver, but my ability to comprehend this stuff was always a struggle.
Any hints? Did I miss something?

Okay, took this to another machine, and plugged my Widget in, and it gave me a triangle FT Uart device.
I clicked on that and pointed that to my JP1 directory, and it installed the ports and everything I needed. But that's not my computer!

Oops, turns out my USB Hub's power supply died so when I plugged things in, it was not totally recognizing the widget.
