Sounds like this is a hardware/communication problem. The initialization error occurs once the plugin has failed three times to ask the device for version number and set 'RAW' mode.

To start debugging it, could you verify if you can send/receive data manually from the com port with a terminal program such as hyperterminal or PuTTY? For example when you write bytes \x23\xdd to the com port the device should respond \x01\x04\xFB.

i have tried to use UIRT schematic with girder it worked but i had to tick two boxes on girder plugin.
1. fast UIRT init.
2. skip UIRT init check.

if this boxes not checked plugin displays an error "invalid 1st char" or "can not read 1st char".
but if above mentioned boxed are ticked then plugin works correctly.
my script is for EG and it will take quite long time to rewrite it to girder.
please help;)

Well, first we'd need to know what those settings do in girder's uirt plugin. I did a quick search and it didn't really turn up too much information about it. :?

It should be pretty easy to monitor the traffic between girder and the device to find out what's going on though. Ask me via PM if you need help debugging it remotely.
