peperoni usb dongles

[samsc]

dont know - not tested recently for over a year - but i think that peperoni changed the way they did the usb.

Yes, I´ve had these problems. Mine mostly go to the Catalyst seeing the Peperoni, but giving 0 on all DMX channels upon startup. This happens very frequently. Unplug/plug the USB side works.

But, a desk operator had my system suddenly not responding to DMX during show, and it took him a while to get it back going, so I´m not all comfortable with the Peperoni.

It work great here .

I have a RODIN T, maybe only RODIN 2 is working when I can´t get Catalyst to see my T, I can choose Peperoni, but in the dmx value it just says "no peperoni".....and no signal, even with plug in and reconnect....

I don´t have acess to a RODIN2 to test, so anybody have function with a T?

indeed

I purchased a Rodin T - and it would be great to be able to use it

not an urgent request though Richard...

I'm hungry. All this peperoni, I want pizza.
I don't use Rodin boxes (or havent yet) I use the DMX ethergate MK2 on my machines because for some funny reason I can't get Catalyst all on one universe anymore and Enttec was the first place I went after the HES sellback.
i have not used any USB devices so your feedback influences my decisions.

Just a thought, i bought a bunch of used Opto Splitters used a few years ago and I use them all the time now when crossing electrical service. I suggest the same for anyone using Cats and Controllers on different electrical service.

recent builds from around feb 08 -do work with the rodin T input. not sure they made it out into the wild yet.

I've seen this problem happen frequently before. I think the name of the device was a CIB???? It always failed because the USB cable kept unplugging and getting plugged back in.

A few people actually went to the measure of siliconing theirs in place. The problem is with it being plugged in and unplugged so much it easily loses contact, just like the CIB.

For a couple hundred bucks, I would just buy one, keep an extension on it and replace the extension cable when it got too worn out.

thats not the same problem or the same device as in this thread.

the CIB was the device made by High End Systems.

using artnet is much better in my humble opinion.

Not urgent -
But cant seem to get a Rodin T to be recognised. System profile reports it correctly - but catalyt doesnt (m147)...

it only works with the rodin 2.
the devices all have different usb id's.
