[BRLTTY] BRLTTY and Alva Satellite under Windows in connection with NVDA

[jpraphat at free.fr]

Good morning,
I encounter the same problem with Nvda and an Alva abt 80 range which worked very well.
It worked even with Windows 11 and after 2 weeks nothing more.
After installing, reinstalling, changing converter, etc.
I tested on three PCs.
The message I sometimes get is this
No attachable console
What is the command line to type?
Thank you for your advice
Jean Pierre

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the info.
Well we have 2 weeks time to see what works and what not. :-)

Greetings,
Simon

hi Simon, I'm using an old Alva Saterlite using usb to serial successfully but found that I had to use brltty 6.4 rather than later versions - still got to try again with later versions.

Could try running brltty from command line rather than launching from NVDA.

If I get a few free minutes I'll try again with brltty 6.6 and report back.
