Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached screenshot and reproducing the serial-port setup in VMware with XP or Windows 7 guests. Compare APM Planner 2.0.17 with the reported working Mission Planner and MiniOSD configurations; done means the same serial port no longer exposes unexpected flow-control options or fails.
