A little help please.

Blue Jumper in middle photo is the correct way when setting it up then after it is done you will unplug the SSC card then put blue jumper on like last photo.

Got it. Test time.

[sittinguphigh]

No go commander. The transmitting flash on but go blinky.
When first hooked up the battery I saw the light blink once.

Well the quick blink is at least a sign that there is power coming from the hub.

You did program the SSC with the V3modded firmware correct?
AND the Active hub Firmware....
AND the Etd Firmware for pixelnet...... You do NOT want the conductor firmware loaded yet.

[sittinguphigh]

I'm using the passive 4 port hub.
I down load the conductor firmware to the etherdongle/conductor.
The conductor firmware program will that take care of both the etherdongle and the conducter firmware?
Will the testing work with the conductor firmware installed?

[rdebolt]

The conductor firmware will not allow you to use the Etd as an Ethernet dongle. All you need to do is install the pixelnet firmware on the Etd, then you can go back and reinstall the conductor firmware after we get your SSCs programed.

[sittinguphigh]

So the firmware etherdongle and conductor are not used together.

[rdebolt]

There are just 2 different firmwares. A lot of people are just using the Etd as an ether dongle to run their show. With the conductor attached it is more of a stand alone unit. Make sense?

[sittinguphigh]

No luck transmission flash but no blinky.
What's next?
I will redue the firmware for the etherdongle to start?

[chrisatpsu]

yes, for now, change etherdongle firmware for pixelnet etherdongle


when your ehterdongle has the pixelnet etherdongle firmware.

it responds to the computer, and you can program your ssc's, etc....


when the etherdongle has the conductor firmware, it no longer responds to the computer except for the special software that only sets up your shows.

[sittinguphigh]

No luck.
Now what?

On the etherdongle just to make sure what is the input and out connects?

In the pictures does every thing look alright? Wiring OK?

Change SS and SSC lights around with different port.

[sjb]

Input on the dongle is the top silver one.

I believe they are suggesting to start with unplugging everything and re-flash the etherdongle with the pixelnet etherdongle firmware.

Once you have flashed it. Then we will go to the next step.

[sittinguphigh]

Lets go to the set before that. Down loading operating system.
Make sure I have that right.

Hey what's the button on the pickit-3 for?

[sittinguphigh]

Staring the programming of the pickit-3 and then program the firmware for the etherdongle.

Pickit-3 programming 1.0

Pixelnet pickit-3 ver 2.0

[sjb]

The button is for using a different program. You do not have to worry about it.

Yes those are the correct software.
