Title: Simple LED (PacDrive) Testing Software?
Post by: Necro on September 17, 2011, 05:29:51 pm

Anyone know of a utility that runs in windows that would let me easily toggle LEDs on or off on a PAC Drive to just test wiring/config and make sure everythings good to go?  Thinking of something where you just click a number and it lights that LED.  Nothing fancy.

And..nevermind.  Seems that a file/app to do that is in the SDK on the site - just doesn't say it is!

You don't need to download the SDK for software to test the PacDrive.

You can also download PacLED64.exe (http://www.ultimarc.com/PacLED64.exe) which is available on the same page (admittedly though it is a bit hard to find).

Well, I actually couldn't even get it to work...so...I grabbed LEDBlinky and used one of the apps in that.  Then realized it wasn't that the app was screwey, it was that I was wiring it backwards (i.e., G to the ground on the Pacdrive...how silly of me :/ ... who would have guessed that was not the right way to do it.)
