I got my etherdongle in the first ETD coop that closed in Feb 2012 - I finally built it today and think it works. But I do have some questions
I loaded the DMX firmware, plugged it into my computer's ethernet port, and then connected it to a Lynx Express. It took a few tries, but I got my LE to work through the ETD. I did not need to upload the PK2DeviceFile.dat file from the wiki to make this work. Is that file necesary for everyone and I am missing something and just haven't figured it out yet? What is that file for anyway?
I assuem the fact that I got it to work with an LE in DMX means that I built it correctly and that if I ever build my Active hub and SSCs, the ETD should work in pixelnet since it works in DMX. Is that a good assumption?
I also assume that means that if I plug it into an open port in my router, I should be able to find the correct IP address and I should be able to get that to work too since it actually passes DMX. Is that a good assumption or is that a stretch because we are talking about two differnt components of the board and I should run the DMX through the router for a complete test?
Finally, how do I connect to the IP addresses? Through vixen or is there some other software I am supposed to load and run to make sure I can find the IP addresses on the router and link them to Vixen? Thanks in advance for your help.
