Have you tried a good 'ol restart of your computer? Also make sure you have unzipped the driver file. When you download them they are compressed, and that wont work unless you unzip or unrar them.

when i power up.
im aware its not detecting it, i just cant get it to use my drivers. im currently running power from a lil 9v battery, could this be why? i very much doubt it.?

**** i just restarted, when i try and use that driver, it still tells me it doesnt contain information about my specified device. along them lines.. any ideas?

Do you have another computer to try it on? Are you trying to install it through a hub? Is your computer USB 2.0 capable?

And if your battery doesn't have enough juice, then yes it could be the problem. Also USB is very picky. If it is a real cheap battery or a battery that is not putting out 9v and closer to 7v or so, then that could be the problem. The board needs a minimum of 7v to function properly. If you battery is going between 9v and 6.9, it wont work.

If you dont have a wall transformer for it, use the +12v line from your computer. (The yellow molex).

Also pp3 batteries have extremely low mah ratings so a pp3 brand new will last a very very short time period.

Hey, this problem is right up my alley, and I'm happy to help.

The first thing I need you to do is take a screenshot like this for me:



Like Nick said, we tested these all these before they went out - so it's most likely a configuration issue. We'll get it sorted out either way.

I have fixed the issues regarding the Analog Inputs. All orders placed after July 1st will ship with this updated firmware.

Email us if you would like to exchange PICs (the little processor on the board that contains the firmware).

Thanks!

I'm looking for a solution to control a single relay by the press of a steering wheel button and I'm wondering if Fusion Brain will work for me. This is how my setup is configured:

Steering wheel buttons hooked up to PAC-SWIX (converts button presses into infrared light).
Igor USB infrared hardware then reads the infrared light and Girder 3.29 determines which button was pressed and sends the appropriate keyword commands to Road Runner (next song, previous song, mute, etc).

This setup works beautifully and if an example Girder config file could be made to talk to the Fusion Control Center software then I'll definately go this route. I'm no expert at Girder and unsure if this will even work.

is that the newest or is it the other, the other looks newer & says it's an update????

Geez...hadn't checked this thread in a while, but after going to the website...this thing looks incredible in terms of functionality for the dollar. You guys get my next $50 for sure!

...and nice review, Turbo.

Yup I worked on it some more after that post. The only visible change is that version 0.2 has a status bar in the designer area that give the x,y coordinates of the button being dragged around so it is easier to line everything up.

Currently it is version 0.2 that is the newest.

Anybody tried it yet? Does it work ok? Any suggestions?

One small thing that I noticed is that when you select of the property items form the menus and you end up with a popup window, if you could set them to autofocus on the first control in the window. The reason being is that it is just that much easier to just type the new entry than it is to first click said inputbox then type..

BTW...Congrats on the layout of the editor...

with the updated program will you be able to skin it the same as this one (without the editor)?

Yes. The editor just writes to a file that can be opened in Notepad if you want to look at you can. The editor just makes it easier to lay it out GUI-style.

@Blue: Thanks. It took a while to put together because of all the options.

Gday glad to update worked seamlessly on my other PC, dont know why, i think it has more to do with my usb controller on my other one. anyways, working great, now i can focus on design! Thanks for the feedback guys.

ill take a look at the skin designer, looks unreal.
