A little help please.

Sorry, I forgot about needing the adapter that lonewolf41 mentions.
Do you have this adapter?
Because if not we will have to go back to the Etherdongle and work with it.

This time of the year If I order it no telling when it will get here.
I will have to see if I can find one local.
If not forget about this year.

How do you find people in my area.
If I can find some one that has a running system.
They can just switch the parts around to test them.

On the map tmcteer is in Huntington Beach. Not sure what they have and if this is close. Maybe PM them and see.

I apologize if this has already been done, but have you programmed the etherdongle with DMX firmware to see if it can control the LE?  That would verify that the ED is in fact working correctly.  I am not sure if that was ever determined or not.

Lonewolf I didn't see your post tell I came back to post that very thought.
That's a good idea I think. That would speed things up to.
If I lucky it will be OK.
Is there any problems with this any one.
Is there any thing I need to know?

No com port with etherdongle. What you use for plugin? Open DMX?

I'm using vixen DMX etherdongle with LE.
Can you do this without a combiner?

[injury]

You would flash the ED with EtherDongle_DMX.Hex and use the Lynx EtherDongle.dll plugin in Vixen 2.1

I'd also pull off the conductor while doing these tests.

[sittinguphigh]

How do you download this to use it in the plugin?
Do you insert it into the vixen file?

 Lynx+EtherDongle.dll (28 kB - downloaded 400 times.)

[sittinguphigh]

I took off the conductor to make sure every looks OK. Any one see some thing wrong.

I see many places where the solder didn't flow through to the top side of the board. Since there are traces on the top of the board as well as the bottom of the board I would apply more solder on those components either from the bottom of the board or the top of the board until you see the a good connection between the component and the trace on top of the board.

that file goes in the Vixen folder in the  /plugin/output

Also looks like some cold solder joints as well. There is a ST485BN chip ( the black ones ) that is not seated correctly. The second one in.
