Title: Set-up Manager not recognising one of my RRC units
Post by: vk4ma on 2011-10-01, 04:50:20

Hello All

I purchased a 1258mk11 set-up in November 2010 from HRO.
I am today trying to connect up my RRC (for the first time) to my PC and perform a firmware update.
I am using a PC with Windows XP and the latest version of Microbit setup manager

When I connect the first RRC unit (the one with the cw knob) everything works as described in the manual and I have updated the firmware successfully

When I connect the 2nd RRC unit (without cw knob) the set-up manager does say "RRC connected" but if I press any other tab or button on the software it locks up - ie if I press the "Get" button - I get the Windows hour glass "thinking" symbol and if I click on the Setup Manager window it says the software is "not responding".

Any help to fix this problem would be appreciated

Cheers

If the firmware of the RRC is 2.35 or older there might be problems using USB. You could do a "workaround" and update it by surfing to it instead(Assuming you are able to connect to it via Ethernet)
