Heh, nope. Still having problems.
So I got the new module. Connected pins 3, 10, 11, and 12 together and plugged it into the computer. Recognized it right off and assigned com 5. Fantastic. Soldered it up and installed a PIC that Kenneth programmed for me. Hooked it up to my express and ran the test mode. Test is successful and at the end, LEDs 2,3, and 4 remain lit. With LED 3 on, I assume the board is receiving a DMX signal. So I'm feeling good.
So following the manual, I download and install the Express config utility. Update the light list. Change the comport setting to COM5 and press the Update button.
Selected the first light on the list. Put the board into program mode. (LED display says "PG6" (PRG), press Select once and it now says "PG6." Pressed the Program button on the config utitilty program and... nothing.
I read the thread about the config program:
You are not allowed to view links.
Register or
LoginThe Express remains in "PG6." mode and does not reboot. I tried what RJ suggested and changed the StartChannel to 207 and repeated the process. No LEDs on the board flash during the process. Well, LED 16 flashes when I press the Select button but nothing afterward.
After a bit, I stop transmitting, and disconnect the power to the Express then plug it back in. The board boots, but the start channel is still 001.
I tried different USB cables and the cat 5 cable with no luck.
With all the soldering/desolding involved with replacing the USB module, might I have damaged something else? I hate to do it, but I'll start from scratch and order all new parts if I have to.
