Just tried Rick's startPattern. It says at the bottom Connected to FTDI DLP-USB245M Com6, but when I click start it just flashes red and black saying "Sending Start Address (1)" and nothing else happens. I am trying this on my Ver2 dongle that has been flashed with the DMX firmware. Both lights are lit, The jumper is on the test headers. All three lights lit on the LE as well as jumpers on terminate and wireless. Start channel 001. Everything on the LE tests fine. Lights come on when I change it to test mode. I have also flashed the LE pic of one of the LEs tried to see if that was the problem. Still no luck
So to sum it up:
Software tried-LSP Advanced, DMX deck, StartPattern
Hardware changes - one DMX ver1 dongle, one ver2 pixelnet dongle(reflashed to dmx), I also tried swapping 485 chips on the dongles with some others, 3 different USB cables, 3 different Cat5 cables.
Computer changes - Laptop running WinXP(show computer), Desktop running Win7
Both computers have .net installed and the FTDI drivers. Dongles chime and show up in device manager
For some reason data is not leaving the dongle to the LE
