I downloaded and installed the latest drivers for my cable, Windows 10 is recognizing it. But now I get an "error reading data. Not the amount of data we want." I have looked for trouble shooting but all I can find is the updating the driver or an issue with the cable which isn't my issue. I have tried multiple times. I have made sure the cable clicks in, I have tried pulling the cable out a little, but I get the same error.<br>><br><br>Are you choosing the correct COM port?
