Since some of you saw my programming question (I did get the proper app and installed it), I suppose you were wondering when the troubleshooting questions would come? Now's the time!
I haven't measured the voltages yet and I'm probably premature in firing this off but, I'm a bit anxious so...
If I know my dongle is working (get blinky with Expresses) and my Cat5 connection to the Freestyle is stable, should I be able to count on the Programing Utility (thanks on the RJ) to program my Freestyle without an issue? I did make sure the jumper was on program side (and changed it back to test) and waited more than 3 sec before terminating the programming.
Now this is probably a very obvious point but....If I connect a Cat5 cable from the jack at position 1 on the Freestyle to an SSR, Channel 1 output from a Vixen squence should get blinky on the first channel of the SSR, correct? I just want to make sure (kind of embarssed asking that).
I've checked all my solder joints, they look good. What are the most common errors in putting the board together? Seeing the post before mine, I have checked all the positions of the IC's and they are good. I have tried several SSR units with my Freestyle and no blinky so I assume my Freestyle isn't working well.
Now I see why RJ put all the indicator lights on the Express! (BTW, my Expresses work very nicely!).
Thank you in advance,
Eric
