Help with Windows Installation

I tried configuring mycontroller on windows using serial gateway

mcc.serialport.driver.type=auto
mcc.serialport.name= "COM30"
mcc.serialport.baud.rate=115200

Is the format of assigning the COM port is right I have tried with and without the double quotes and still it is not working.How can i debug or find whether the mycontroller is able to communicate with the serial gateway.

Are you sure its really com 30, not com 03 ?

@gopal_N To enable debug log you have to change the lines from INFO to DEBUG in the file: mycontroller/conf/logback.xml

  <logger level="DEBUG" name="org.mycontroller.standalone.gateway"/>

  <root level="DEBUG">

Can you post your logs from mycontroller/logs/mycontroller_console.log and mycontroller/logs/mycontroller.log file?

To check is MyCotroller communicating with serial gateway via UI,

• Connect gateway with your computer
• Start MyController server
• Press RESET button on your serial gateway
• Now navigate to Logs page (Click on More->Logs)
• If you can see Gateway Ready message, communications are happening.

This is the right format,

mcc.serialport.driver.type=auto
mcc.serialport.name=COM30
mcc.serialport.baud.rate=115200

@gopal_N Looks like you connected your normal node as serial gateway with Mycontroller server. MyController server will not understand normal node serial port output. Kindly recheck that you have connected serial gateway device with MyController server.
You have two serial port's COM30 and COM36. I assume that you have powered up your node and serial gateway both with usb port and by mistake you have connected your normal node serial port with MyController.

@ jkandasa
I installed domoticz and was able to get it working .Mycontroller is still not able to find the node .
Just to confirm I have flashed the Serial Gateway code in the arduino and a Light sensor code in the node.Domoticz is able to scan and pick up the node while Mycontroller is giving the above error.I am new with Mysensors so maybe i am skipping something.

@gopal_N I know this is outdated response, I am sorry for long delay(I didn't notice this). I do not know still you are using MyController.org. I have updated serial port driver. This particular issue might be resolved in current build.
