Old post, but I can't seem to connect to the Dongle I just got from Tim.
Tim, did yous sell me a dinky dongle!?
I think I've got another mini usb cable I'll try out tomorrow.
No, it works. I tested it thoroughly. Jim Amos may have updates to his firmware to make this easier, but for the three RRC3's I had, you need a very specific sequence to connect.
1. No power connection to RRC3.
2. Dongle connection to RRC3 with switch set to off.
3. Plug dongle into first RRC3, then computer USB.
4. Start Missileworks mDACs.
5. Select COM port (usually the highest, but not always).
6. Hit Connect button on mDACs program.
7. Note counter starting at 20s. When counter reaches 17s turn on dongle board (but no later than 16s).
8. If timing is right, RRC3 will connect.
9. If not, turn off dongle, exit mDACs program. Restart mDACs and proceed with step 5 (may be different COM port) or step 6, may have missed connect window between 17s and 16s.
