At least I can now select a COM Port
Now the software is telling me that the soundcard is not responding.
Just a question. Are the sound board Tx, Rx, GND pins shown in the pic on your thread in the correct order? I have just swapped the wires over on the DasMikro programming cable but maybe they were correct originally?
Hi. Lol, So that usb connector that banggood sells for 20 bucks costs about half an euro. Interesting...
My diagram is absolutely correct, but it is not mine. I just found it in internet, because somebody was unable to connect the board to the computer too. So that guy did the diagram and uploaded it to banggood. I took good note of it, and I did one following exactly the same instructions and worked flawlessly. My programmer came bad wired, thats 100% for sure. Also the diagram does not mean you have to follow it and do exactly the same! It depends about how your usb connector is. I dont remember now, but probably in the dasmikro usb you can read what is every pin. What means is not the order of the wires, but the match of the correct pins!
About the pc not recognizing the board. Did you install all the drivers? Not only the TBS software, but the bunch of drivers that you have to install?
Anyway I think I will do a wild guess and I will say all those dasmikro boards come with sounds on it. (except the ones that the sellers says that are empty!) Why do I say it? Because it seems all the programmers come bad wired and I have read little to none complains about them, so that means people just dont use them.
Also because knowing how most of the people is, they are happy with the stock sound. No matter if people is running a race car with truck sounds. for most of the guys there as long as something sounds is fine, not caring about lights, smoke and all the marvels that the board can do.
So if I were you, I would read the manual again, I would try first of all to set the board, just doing the bridge (when doing it you dont have to connect it to the computer)
Maybe you can start toying with the board doing selecting the autostart mode. From the manual:
2.5. Changing a already set control mode
It is possible to change the adjusted control mode
without
the optional programing adaptor:
1.
Bridge the LRN contact
DURING
powering the soundmodule
2.
Remove the LRN contact
3.
Close LRN contact momentary and wait for the “Beep-Code”
4.
Repeat closing the LRN contact until the desired control mode is signalized by the
according “Beep-Code”
5.
Switch soundmodule off and on again
„Beep-Code“
1 x Beep
->
Autostart
2 x Beep
->
Toggle switch
3 x Beep
->
12 position encoder
Soundmodule TBS Micro V2.0

2.4. Autostart
If you only want to play the engine sound, the “autostart” mode can be selected. The engine starts
automatically, as soon as the model is accelerated the first time.
If the engine is more than 20s idle, it shuts down automatically.
No special sounds
can be played in this mode!
Teaching the autostart mode:
1.
Power on transmitter and receiver. LED blinks fast -> normal mode
Bring throttle stick to idle. Motor must not move.
2.
Bridge LRN contact for about 0.5 seconds until beep -> LED cont. on.
At this moment the idle position of the throttle stick is stored.
3. Move throttle stick to your desired acceleration point (throttle stick position where idle
dead band stops and engine running sound starts) and wait for a beep
Now the dead (neutral) band of the speed channel is defined.
4. Move the throttle stick to full speed position and wait for three beeps.
After this the sound unit is back in the normal operation mode.
During the programing sequence:
If you leave the last stored throttle stick position, a very short beep is played. Since then,
you have about 2 seconds to adjust the new throttle stick position to be stored next
If it works, and if you heard sound, then you can swap to more advanced control modes.
