Hi,
I believe someone posted a similar request for help last year but there was not much response so I'm trying again as I have the same issue. I have a Kettler Ergoracer stationary bike and I would like to connect it to a PC to use the updated programs from Kettler available from http://www.kettlerusa.com/page90.html
I did contact Kettler UK about the supported Ergo Conzept software but this takes over control of the bike computer and you need to ride using the PC and I just wanted to update the factory shipped programs and it appears this method isn't supported any more but they still have the spreadsheets on their site.
I found a way to remove the sheet protection from the spreadsheet so in theory I would be able to update the program wattage ratings in the spreadsheet and create my own bespoke programs but connecting it to the serial connector on the bike has failed.
I have tried using a USB to serial cable and the driver for this appears to work fine, I can set the serial port to emulate via USB but the Kettler software can't see the bike.
I would be interested to see if anybody else has tried even if this is a straight serial to serial since I might consider trying this but I would need to move my main computer to the bike since my laptop only has USB but it seems like hard work.
Cheers,
