pgFocus software problem with other COM port

[Ken Jiiii]

Hello Karl,

I found a very minor bug.

It seems that the original pgFocus software is talking to the preset COM port (I guess the one with the lowest number) immediately at startup. Unfortunately I have annother device on COM6 which due to this fact reports an error. pgFocus is on COM7. So after changing the preset in the pgFocus software and talking to the other port everything is fine again.

Is it an option to change the COM ports?
I do not know whether the talking at program startup is neccessary. Is it asking for the firmware version?

Just an observation. ;-)

I made a few  simple updates to the pgFocus application. It nows save the last used serial port and opens that next time. 

I pushed the changes to github.

It does request firmware version information immediately from the hardware. Perhaps I should redo that...

Thanks a lot Karl! As I said it was not a big problem holding back the function but I thought you might like to have feedback on the pgFocus.
