USB connection with D512 [fixed]

Post by woutervr »

Hello,

I resently got an old D512 interface. I wanted to try some things out, but i cannot make a connection with my computer. I'm using Windows 10 and the D512 can be as good as 5 years old.
I tried with a MacBook pro, with and without DMX cable connected. My laptop and the software don't recognise the interface. Only the blue dot is lighting up saying it has power, but the green PC LINK led is not on.

How can I resolve this problem? I looked everywhere but couldn't find an answer.

thanks in advance!

Go to D512 hardware section and read about downloading and installing drivers.

I updated my usb-drivers, but i'm not sure that was what you meant.

I'm using Windows 10, version 1803. On an hp elitebook.
