So frustrated. I have a newPac USB and tried in both linux and windows 10. Seems to be recognized as a valid USB device on both platforms.

Clearly the recv sock network is the issue. Connects but cannot "talk". But I also see some references and pics mentioning a serial COM port - but I see no mention on either platform, chalking that up to older versions. So I have sort of ruled out a bad newpac board. But that leaves me with exactly zero ideas.
Anyone have any thoughts? Or any diagnostics for just board-level functions?
