Built my first two Aethers.
Get red blinky. Get white flash. Will not respond with any commands given from DMX Dongle (dongle checks out). I haven't resoldered the RJ-45 connection yet, but I will try later. I checked the connection on the RJ-45 dongle (on the spot case) using a RJ-45 tester. It seems to check out (well, for the first pair which correspond to orange and orange/white).
Decided to go and build the second. Reflashed the PIC as I saw the PIC that was sent did not have the correct checksum. Finished the build and am now getting all white all the time (no matter what position I put the switch in). I checked to see if I was experiencing the same lost mini-chip on the LED, but haven't found that to be an issue. I will re-flash the PIC later tonight, to jsut make sure that this isn't the issue.
I will wait to do the third. This is the first time I have ever had issues with any build from DLA.
