Thread: DSATX programming mode

I've had to do reset it a couple times....
What jumpy thing?

I just had to cut 12v to it a couple times and hook the branstem up to another PC (my laptop) to reset defaults.

that did not work for me, tried that a few times earlier today

jumpy thing - short the jumper at A, i think it was....would have to double check.

okies, i have had no luck what so ever in getting into programing mode( it use to work, that's how i set it up orig.)

i get no diagnostic output(yes i am using all upercase letters)

the only thing i can get to work is @ ( simulated power button press)

other then that, nothing this is what i've done

1) removed all power wires from dsatx

2) shorted the reset jumper(tried this shutdown/powered up/unplugged no difference)

3) unplugged the brainstem/serial cables


all results return the same result - nothing

Then try D to reset to defaults, then try E
It's an undocumented function that will enable writing to the DSATX.

Its not Undocumented.. It's in the manual..

Sneaky! You updated the manual!

That's a good thing, though....

found *part* of the problem

for ****s and giggles, i took out the serial cable and plugged it into a cable tester. it has a few broken wires, upon closer examination, i found that 3 wires were not soldered in very well into the db9 connection. tommorow i'll see about locating a replacement cable, i will update post accordingly
(fyi - TX works RX does not !)

also, as a note, i'm still getting a dead battery from time to time, i really need the dsatx to FORCE OFF after x minutes. or X voltage....

IT should do that by default.
Mine has a 300sec (5min) shutdown timer and a hard off after 1min.
