Led Blinky Help- ipac ultimate- willing to PayPal/pay for setup
« on: November 11, 2016, 11:46:41 pm »
Just throwing it out there
I am at my wits end with the very last thing to setup, everything is done.
I have a new ipac ultimate, running SINGLE colour led's
I've wired everything up, plug in the power off the board, awesome everything lights up!

I've attempted to setup blinky with the limited amount of info that's out there, proper pins to the software layout, and the lights just stay lit. 

I attempt to do an led test after mapping, dimming them all with the slider...no response.
Blinky sees the board, I can see that.
I know I've correctly mapped everything, and input it properly...but no control software side...

At this point I'm reaching out, willing to pay, as I really want to learn blinky and need someone who knows this program to set me up one time..can be by phone call whatever doesn't matter.  The whole reason I went with ultimarc because it seemed like a seamless integration.

If anyone is interested please either respond or pm me, I have no issues paying people for their time.

Thanks in advance

Oh I've seen that
That's the easy part.

I'm talking about getting it to work with I/O.  I've gone through a few numerous tutorials and can't even get past the port mapping and having blinky recognize the ports it's being directed to.

I'm on Windows 10, attempting to migrate it into hyperspin once operational.

If anybody is familiar with the IO,

I never ran that WinIpacv2 config utility, I just wired up my board and went at it, controls work fine etc.
I could not find much on the utility and it's purpose... Could that be a reason?

When you first connect 5v power and USB to the Ultimate I/O, do all the LEDs start cycling though colors? I'm pretty sure that's the default behavior. And when you start the SimpleLEDTest app, do all the LEDs turn off except for port number one? With the test app, can you control any of the ports (on/off/intensity)? If the answer is no to any of these questions then it's possible the hardware is wired incorrectly or maybe even defective. There's also a possibility that the firmware has changed in some way so that LEDBlinky no longer works (with the hardware), but that would be very unlikely as others would have reported the same problem. Have you tried contacting Andy?
