I have this message:

Conectando por serie..... Abriendo puerto: COM3

but it never shows me an error message or a success message.

This sucks. After a lot of testing we discover that this error happens when the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) is not installed (as mentioned here).

From what I read, it looks like newer versions of JNA don't have this issue. I don't know if we can update it, though. I'll look into that. For now, I think I'll add a "Troubleshooting" page describing this problem and how to solve it.
