Made the crossover cable. Nothing changed. The EtherDongle is not working.
My setup:
Wireless on the laptop is turned off.
I flashed the EtherDongle with DMX firmware (EtherDongle_DMX.hex) ( got the hex file from here: You are not allowed to view links.
Register or
Login ) to test since I already have working Expresses.
Computer -> EtherDongle (MagJack) -> Combiner (Pixelnet out) - Universe 1 "In" on combiner -> Express.
When everything is plugged in I have a green light on the board. No lights on the MagJack. Data Link light is lit on the Express.
I am testing with xLights. 4 Networks set to E1.31. My computers IP address (but not in sequence / all for are the same).
The laptop is showing nothing is plugged in with either a "straight" or "crossover" cable.
What I have done so far:
Made a crossover cable
Checked for bridges
Went over my soldering
Made sure the 8 chips were in correctly
Re-flashed the DMX firmware
Photos of the board attached.
Did I set it up correctly? If so, what would be my next step?
