Title: Etherdongle/Conductor firmware and Conductor Control Panel Availability
Post by: cavu2u on November 05, 2012,
Having looked at the wiki and searching the forums, I have not yet found my answer ...

1) It is my understanding the Etherdongle/Conductor have their own firmware (as opposed to the the firmware for the stand-alone Eherdongle). The wiki has a blank placeholder for the firmware.

What is the link to the Etherdongle/Conductor firmware?

2) In the Conductor tutorial video, software is depicted that controls the Conductor called the "Conductor Control Panel."

Where is this utility software located for download?

Now what we need is the template to cut the case for the Conductor card slot.

No problem at all. I was afraid I had missed something.

Thanks Rick

Hi Folks

IF I did it correctly the conductor firmware was added (under the etherdongle) and the Control Panel software was added to the Conductor section

http://www.diylightanimation.com/wiki/index.php?title=Equipment#EtherDongle_and_Add_on_boards

Again, many thanks to RJ for all of his work and also in this case to the beta testers for their many hours of testing

It appears to be there - I'll download once I get home.

Thanks Rick

Hey Rick,

   Yes yes. Thank you to RJ and all the beta testers. This has been a long time coming to completion.   <res.

 Just wondering Rick. Will there be firmware for the slave portion. I was going to run LSP with video and was hopeing to use the slave to help it along.

Still going to have to take the cover off to raise the ejector arm?

The ejector is a push ejector not a raise.  When you insert the flash card the ejector pushes "out" for you to push it "in" to eject the flash card

The arm is a push in to eject the card and gets pushed out when the card gets inserted

I just remove the ejector to fit the conductor in the case and use a pencil to mark where I need to cut out the holes along with the audio jack.
Just make sure you cut out for the ejector

The ejector is not necessary either.  The card is easy enough to remove without it....Tried it both ways, also makes for a smaller hole in the side of the case without it.
