| MikeQ:
I bet Randy would be interested in knowing the specifics of this machine. Working in the PC hardware field, I see issues like this a lot. It is usually with integrated motherboards and a lot of times is a chipset issue. It would be good to come up with some commonalities and differences between the two machines. Could it be a USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 issue? Do you know if both systems have the same USB version? Do the two machines have the same OS? Do they have the same Service Packs? Are they machines both Intel/AMD based? What are the chipsets in the two machines. Certain VIA chipset/motherboard combinations have know USB issues. Some of these issues can be resolved with patches to the bios. |

Randy has been working with me a bit to track it down. The machines are more different then they are alike. Other then both being Intel, that's about it. Thanks! Mike |
| MikeQ:
Does the problematic one have a VIA chipset? |
| Wienerdog:
Let me know if there are any .NET/VB related questions, I can help out with any of that. |

MikeQ: No, neither of the machines use a Via chipset. Wienerdog: Thanks for the offer but I should be ok on the coding front. Once I got past the hardware problem, everything started working perfectly. Now I'm working on getting RGB LEDs to use true RGB values. So you can go into Photoshop, pick a color as either hex or r/g/b values, and the LED will attempt to match it. I've got it taking the luminosity differences of the LED elements into account as well but it's still not done yet. Ultimately, I'm hoping that you can do something like this: RgbLed led = RgbLed(startingPin); or RgbLed led = RgbLed(startingPin, redLum, greenLum, blueLum); then set the color like this: led.setColor(redColor, greenColor, blueColor); or led.setColor(colorAsHex); I will also be implementing some fade capabilities. led.fade(colorAsHex, duration); Still lots of experimenting necessary to get this all working. I'll probably get something up and running this weekend. Might be tricky to make the correct color curves to match the RGB colors and if anyone has experience with this type of thing, I'd love to hear it. Thanks! Mike |
