Driver communications log (error log)
« on: February 27, 2020, 10:48:48 AM »
It would be amazing if there was an ability to set a Log file for the communications driver. I would have saved so much time if I could go back and look at the driver to see what error's occurred when testing something.  Could it be possible to enable a Log feature into the driver and have it store to a .txt file locally?

Some of the drivers, the serial drivers, do have an EnableLogging property. This would be a good idea to add to the other drivers since I often ask to do a WireShark capture.

Agreed, as do I.  I haven't looked in depth at the driver code but I imagine it can't be that hard to do.  It would make for a VERY useful debug tool.  Thanks for the consideration.
