No dice. It's logging ALOT more now.. But its just the same entries over and over.. The Value is 0 now however not NaN..
It's also logging the same thing for Sensor 1 & 2 with your config when I'm only putting something through on sensor 1..

This is a nightmare.

That probably means your brain ID is wrong. It changes from USB port to USB port, so you can have multiple brains on one computer.

Use Device Manager or the Configurator to check the Brain ID (The VID PID string in the config file)

When I change the USB ID in your code to the USB ID for my brain, your code runs fine.

EDIT: Checking the Brain ID Now

My wiring is 100% correct. Greenman100, you ok'd the diagram. I've tested the voltages at the brain itself.

On the input wires I'm seeing 5.01V at "Idle"
2.27V on VOL UP/DOWN
0.88V SEEK UP/DOWN
MODE/PWR BUTTON 0.0.1 (Straight to ground)

So why the hell can't I get this thing to work..

Brain ID was wrong. Changed. Now I'm back to my NaN for a value.. Whatever that means..

probably a mistake somewhere in the software. i'm trying to help, I'm an hour late for a party, and I'm sitting here troubleshooting with you.

Let me post my code again

I really appreciate it mate.. It's just frustration.. I really thought this would be a 10min job.. Not 3 days.

I see it

Change the "Auto_average" to false

**greenman100** · 04-11-2008, 08:03 PM

you don't want averaging, it's an option to smooth out the signal, but you don't need it.

however, you had it set to true, but set ot hold a memory of zero values (history)

so it tried dividing by 0 to find the average, resulting in NaN.

you should be good now

ITS ALIVE...

It spams it with 4.9V then when i connect the resistor i get the right value then back to spamming 4.9V. So it is working. (I have it jerry rigged on my bench right now)

I think we've got it..

I appreciate your time on this greenman100.

Next Step.. Building the skin to send keystrokes.

EDIT: Btw during my day of screwing around I found a few bugs with the Config Builder.. Will report them in a few.
