machine and ModelMaker,

it seems both of you are experimenting the same issue. I had no idea this was happening, so I have to try it myself and see what happens...

If it is as you say, probably Mr Benedini is going to need to update his software...

Hi,
try the drivers from FTDI:

I am using the files that were linked to Banggood, and not having access to the originals I have no idea if they are legit.
What I’m trying to grasp is if there is a specific driver required to connect with Flash or is this a generic driver that allows your computer to recognize the adapter?
I can use troubleshooting to let the computer find a driver, which it did. Or use the driver provided in the links, both drivers seem to give a perfect working feed back in the Devices menu.

The drivers in bangood were the same uploaded on the benedini site. Of course they are not legit... Anyway I dont think there is a specific driver. Try with the one in the link from Jhamm and tell us if it works.

Also check the connectors are fine and well connected. The pins in the micro are so tiny that they might be damaged.

Yeah, just stumped. Connections have been checked twice.

Okay, I changed the USB cord and downloaded a different driver. Had to turn of the wifi to get the driver to load manually.
I now have connected and green bar. When I click read Param, should that show me the sound set that is pre-loaded ? It doesn’t seem to populate.
Thanks, MM

Nope, even when it is there, it never reads the sound set or individual sounds flashed.
If you want to see it, you need to reflash it.

Which driver's did you use?

Use the link that I added. I tried a few different ones, this one worked.

Thanks, still learning.
