Try this and please report back how you get on, with what third party clockport hardware you're using.

Modify the default clockport address using the icon tooltypes, refer to the included documentation.  You'll probably need to use a port address of EE0001.

Impatient with no update with an option to set the base address

I sent an update within 12 hours which included a new build of the driver and documentation to include exactly that feature, for free.  Were you expecting something sooner?

The code only contains the base address address in one place, so if hacking the binary works, then this new version that allows an optional user defined address should work as well.  Can you confirm that works as expected?

If you have time - is there a way to fix the AK_Sensors_Display program so that it remembers where it was last positioned please?  At the moment, it always opens in the top left, over the top of my disk icons.

AK_Sensors_Display was originally intended as a demo of how to read and display the values that AK_Sensors writes to ENV: hence it's fairly simple.  I don't think there's a way for Intuition to remember the program window location in the way MUI 'snapshot' does, but it's probably possible for it to draw the window at a user defined X/Y location specified in icon tooltypes (which you can't do at the moment).  I'll have a look in the weekend if I have some spare time.

Have not tried it myself but NewMeter has the ability to display variables from ENV: (and much more) so you could try that as a replacement for AK_Sensors_Display.

Look at the ENVGAUGE tooltype options.  I don't know if it'll update the program window when the variables in ENV are dynamically updated or not, you'll need to try it and see.
