Please review the following and give it a go. Presuming all else is set and operating (USB driver, correct port, etc...) let me know if this gets you going?
Some RRC3's can boot into an undefined state with no power supply simply by physically connecting the blue comm cable to the USBIO module. Below are the 2 revised procedures, the first using the USBIO power source, the second using an external battery. Please try both of these procedure to see if you can improve the connectivity of the RRC3 to mDACS.
a. To start a USB Host Mode session using the RRC3 and USB-IO power source, follow these steps:
- Make all cable connections EXCEPT the blue data cable from the USBIO adapter to the RRC3
- Ensure the USBIO power switch is ON
- Launch the mDACS app, and ensure the USBIO comm port is selected and ready
- Click the Host Connect button in mDACS to start the 20 second connection countdown
- Insert the blue data cable into the RRC3/RTx Comm socket immediately
- RRC3 should boot up and connect up
b. To start a USB Host Mode session with the RRC3 using an external power source, follow these steps:
- Make all cable connections EXCEPT the blue data cable from the USBIO adapter to the RRC3
- Ensure the USBIO power switch is OFF
- Launch the mDACS app, and ensure the USBIO comm port is selected and ready
- Click the Host Connect button in mDACS to start the 20 second connection countdown
- Power up the RRC3, then insert the blue data cable into the RRC3 Comm socket
- RRC3 should connect up
