Any issues?
« on: February 26, 2014, »
Just wanted to check and see if anyone has had any build or running issues with the Panther V2 from the first coop.

Mine worked fine after build.  I would like to thank you for all the extra work you did on this coop.  It was nice to have the test files loaded on the  SD card.  You started this project just a year ago and you should be proud to see your vision become reality. I hope this inspires others to push forward with their ideas.

My hardest problem right now is finding the instructions, since they seem to be in multiple files in multiple threads.  Is there anyway to put them in one location, like the wiki?

Got my player going, but on power up, I get 7 green flashes. I opened the CONTROL.TXT and i saw:

0,0,0,0,0

5 zeros

Reading the instructions, i saw that it should be only 4 zeros (0,0,0,0), so I changed it.

Im still getting the 7 green flashes.

Any Ideas?

You may need to reformat the SD card and place the files back on it.  Make sure not to change the block size.
If at first you don't succeed,

If you leave the SD Card out and power up you should get 1 or 2 blink lights. Also did it write the FIRMWARE.TXT file to the SD Card it should do this before attempting to read the CONTROL.TXT file.

Reformatted the SD card, and  put the files back in.

No SD card installed, I get 1 green flash - pause - 1 green flash

w/SD card 7 flashes

Pulled the card, no FIRMWARE..TXT

At this point it has to be the SD card. I use an 8gig SanDisk class 4 sdhc. I believe that it's formated for fat32. See if you can get a hold of another SD card.

It should have worked. I tested all the SD Cards from the coop and loaded the test files to them.

Should the CONTROL.TXT contain only the 4 values (i.e. "0,0,0,0" ), not the 5 it came loaded with ("0,0,0,0,0")?

It needs at least 4, I added 5 as I was testing additional features. Do you have one of the suggested programmers to re flash the firmware?
