Sale/Trade / WTB USB DMX Dongle
« on: March 11, 2016, 09:11:36 pm »
Hello everyone,
I'm in need of a USB DMX dongle. Please let me know if you have one to spare. All I really need is the board, I can get the parts from Mouser if need be.
Thanks!

Lynx EtherDongle / Help Program the Pic on EtherDongle
« on: March 11, 2016, 08:49:27 pm »
Hello everyone,
I have been trying for months to get the pic programmed for my EtherDongle, however something isn't going right. Would there be anyone out there willing to try and program it for me? I will pay shipping both ways.
Thanks!

When I go in to check the power settings. Everything was the same as what was in your example, but the "High Voltage on MCLR" was set at "No". And I get the same message I was getting before.
When I go into Advanced mode, I don't get an option to turn the high voltage on.

I'm still having problems, I set "Power Target Circuit from Tool" at 3.3 but now I'm getting a message saying "The target circuit may require more power than the debug tool can provide. An external power supply might be necessary.
Connection Failed."
Connection Failed."

Ok, I got the right software and I have it set up as follows:
Family: 32-bit MCUs (PIC32)
Device: PIC32MX795F512L
Tool: PICkit3 S.No: BUR132284452
Source: C:\User....\EtherDongle2.hex
I have the ETD plugged in to get power and the software can find the device, however I get a message "Connection Failed"
It seems I'm never going to get this thing programmed.

Ok, I'm not seeing what IPE software you guy are talking about. I've tried using the PicKit 3 program, it hasn't worked for me. I tried using MPLAB, but it's IDE and will not work, is there something I'm missing on which software I need to use?

I went in and changed the device to PIC32 (There wasn't a PIC32MX795F512L option, so that could be the problem?), and changed the voltage to 3.3 and I'm getting the same problem I had before.
When I select PIC32 from the Device Family, I get a message saying "No device detected. Ensure proper capacitance on VDDCORE/VCAP pin". Not sure what that means. And when I go to Tools>Check Communication, I'm right where I started.

Alright, I got my PicKit 3 in today and I've been trying to figure out how to use it. I plugged it into the USB, opened the program, and checked the connection. So far so good. Once I try to import the .hex file, I get a device error and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've tried to click "Blank Check" before I try importing the .hex, and I get "No device detected." What am I doing wrong?

I don't know how I missed that considering the number of times I looked through the wiki lol I'll get a PicKit 3 and try again. Also, do you think using my modem (from xFinity) will work or should I consider getting a network switch?

Lynx EtherDongle / Problems with EtherDongle
« on: September 10, 2015, 08:06:32 pm »
Hello everyone,
I am trying to set up my EtherDongle but I'm not having much luck. I'm not sure where I've went wrong. I've looked through quite a few forums already and haven't found much that has helped.
First of all, I try to program the pic (this is where my first problem is). I'm using a PicKit 2 and PicKit 2 v2.61. I plug the PicKit into the dongle and I check the connection. When I do so, I get an error stating "PICkit 2 VPP voltage level error. Check target & retry operation." I have tried plugging the dongle in with its own power supply and tried without having any power to the board at all, I get the same message here.
My second problem comes when I try to use the EtherDongle. The Dongle has been in storage for a few years, this is why I wanted to try updating the pics, however I still try to use the dongle without programing the pics. Here is what I've done:
1- Plug my computer into my modem(works as wifi router as well, I'm not sure if that makes a difference.)
2- Plug my dongle into the modem
3- Power the dongle
4- Plug my hub into the dongle, power the hub
5- Plug my Smart Strings into the hub
I get nothing out of this set up, I've tried getting something through LOR, Vixen 2.1, xLights, and through the Smart String Setup utility. What am I doing wrong? Why can I not get the PicKit to program the pics?
Any help would be much appreciated.
