o Group: Forum Members Posts: 3, Visits: 0	Hello I am trying to use an external BlueTooth GPS device with SkyDemon Running on Windows 10. Tyhe BlueTooth virtual Serial port is setup correctly. I am able to open it with a standard Terminal Emulator on COM6 and data is received correctly from the device. U‌nfortunalty, SkyDemon tries to open a COM with some chineese character at the end and fails.. ‌ ‌‌ A‌ny idea on how to fix this ? T‌hx ‌‌‌
