No more response from ADio board...

Post by bunex »

Hello Ladyada, and thank you to read me,

I received my ADio kit, no problem to build it. Solderings seem to be good. Just like in the website, no missing parts... Thank you !!

My computer is a Mac G5 (PPC) 10.4.11 and the midi interface is M-AUDIO UC-33.

It seems that midisense for mac and ADio boards doesn't exist yet, but I run the previous version and get strange results. IM SORRY !!!

But It did work for a while : I managed to play a note on garageband, Calibrating with a potentiometer was possible. Then the "lost connection message" started to appear more frequently...

Fisrt, impossible to calibrate, change settings or reset
then : impossible to connect to ADio

Strangely, when i power up adio, for 5-10 seconds, garageband still plays notes if I join +5V to In with a push button. after this time, no reaction.

I tried on a PC with Windows 2000. UC-33 installation was succesful.
I tried to Re-upload v1.3 firmware... impossible. (impossible to connect)

Since this time, Adio board do not respond. On power-on, there is one green blink, one red blink and one green blink and nothing else. (battery is okay)

...What can I do ? Did I break my nice ADio board ?

yeah you kinda broke it by trying to re-upload the firmware. it didnt finish uploading so now the board is confused!
you should try to upload the firmware again on a windows machine. make sure the file has hex data in it by opening it in wordpad. i have to finish porting the mac software. dont use the old version, it wont work very well!

ok, I tried re-upload 1,3 firmware on a PC with midisense software 1,3a.

"Lost connection".

Is the microcontroller out of order ? Can I buy another pre-programmed one ?

Thank you...
