TK. Posted March 14, 2007 Report Posted March 14, 2007 Excellent!So, the module itself is working, it could be a windows issue :-/(sorry, I'm out of ideas what else could help to get the driver running)Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote
dj3nk Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 tk your doing the job ;) I can nearly see you jumping on your seat. lol"EXCELLENT" ;) Quote
napierzaza Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Posted March 15, 2007 Indeed TK, that's just enough to keep me going (on this module) instead of just thinking it's a wash. I'm feeling pretty low in the electronics department these days. And to think that I have to invent an art project using them within a few weeks (no midibox or synthesizers allowed!) Quote
kris Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 napierzaza I'm feeling pretty low in the electronics department these days i feel really bad now i wouldnt have sent them to you if i thought it was going to put you off electronics (maybe i should have just killed them) ive got no idea what sort of art project your going to come up with just using usb modules as well take photos of them posssibly or paint them i dont know anyway good luck Quote
napierzaza Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Posted March 15, 2007 No don't worry, I'm more frustrated with the burner and trying to get the voltages right. This is okay, it appears as if it might work eventually. Though I have a strange tendency to have horrible windows problems. I tried to make and Atmel burner and it does absolutely nothing, probably again because of my PC. Quote
kris Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 yea i think that was half the problem for me the windows issue people had success with windows 98 i believe anyway good luck kris Quote
napierzaza Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 Oh man, I guess I'll look around for a computer with windows 98. :-0 Quote
napierzaza Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Posted March 22, 2007 Okay. So I got Windows 2000 in hopes of having it work there. I direct it to the correct folder and ... it fails! It finds the driver and says it's a better one than I have now, but then it fails once I click "next" stating:"a function driver was not specified for this device instance"??? Quote
napierzaza Posted March 24, 2007 Author Report Posted March 24, 2007 Okay, so now I've wasted about 4-5 hours with a Windows 98 installation that didn't work. It appears that OSX sees it as the right vendorID and productID but any windows version sees it as 0000 0000. So I added a line in the .inf file that says anything with 0000 0000 should be loaded with the driver. It "worked" in that the driver is actually loaded onto it, but the control panel sees nothing at all. Here's the best question ever:Thorsten,CAN I JUST BURN MIOS (NOT JUST THE BOOTLOADER) ONTO A PIC AND THEN UPLOAD THE SOFTWARE ONTO THE USB MODULE SOMEHOW THROUGH THE CORE?I don't know if burning MIOS actually works, so let me know.Also you only inferred a little that the USB firmware could be programmed in such a way.Please let me know.

napierzaza Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Posted March 25, 2007 Okay, well I guess this isn't happening. I'll go buy an M-Audio device. Quote
napierzaza Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Posted March 26, 2007 Unless someone knows how to write to an eeprom using jtag? Quote
Lall Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 Maybe you could use something of that kind: http://www.vk2zay.net/article.php/31 ?Apparently it uses Linux which could be a bit annoying but I suppose it should run using a Knoppix for example if you don't have a Linux installed.Otherwise most probably, I should be able to burn one for you by hacking a bit my Miss Parker. Where are you located?Maybe something stupid but have you tried connecting it directly to the PC or through a USB hub? I have a USB soundcard at home that does not work through a hub and absolutely requires a direct connection to the PC. I doubt that the EZ-USB has such requirements but ok...A last one, are you trying the EZ-USB without an eeprom connected to make 100% sure that a firmware does not get loaded by accident? If I remember correctly, it's enough that the first value of the eeprom is the magic number for the rest to be considered as valid firmware. The fact that the device is seen correctly in OSX tends to prove that it's not the cause of the problem though.Best regards,Lall Quote
napierzaza Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Posted March 26, 2007 It also looks like PonyProg programs them, but I don't know if a direct connection (ie no board with caps and resistors,and buffers ) will do or not.I'll take a look at your link.I'm located in Montreal Canada, where are you? It's getting warm up here! I've only tried connecting it directly, also I've tried it with and without the eeprom connected.... I'm an effects pedal? Quote
Lall Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 I'm located in Montreal Canada, where are you? It's getting warm up here! I'm in Belgium. We've gone in one night from winter time to spring time, strange weather...I'll check about the shipping cost to Canada to see if it's worth it or not.Best regards,Lall Quote
napierzaza Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Posted March 26, 2007 Okay cool, drop me an email Quote
dj3nk Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 I am in Germany. Got a MBHP Burner. If you want to I can burn it for you, too. Think its cheaper sending to here. Your choice :) But I need a 40pin adapter if it isnt. Sockets and a schematic would also do. Lall is that MissParker your work ? I ask because of your homepage.greetz Quote
Lall Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Hi dj3nk,Lall is that MissParker your work ? I ask because of your homepage.Yes and no:- yes Miss Parker is our work and- no because it's a friend who did the electronic design of the beast and- yes because I did most of the firmware part and the PC software and- no because another friend did the Linux stuff in the PC software ;DBest regards,Lall Quote
dj3nk Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 The Miss Parker is one of my definitive 2do projects :) But as I'm not the guru in reading schematics for making a one layered pcb and I dont have the money to get pro-pcbs or buy the dsp atm it will definately take some time. Quote
