Awesome that you got the drivers working. We are almost there! 1. Unplug the USB cable from the computer 2. Press and hold the upper button (in your photos) while you plug the cable back Holding the button down when it's powered up makes the controller boot in a the flash mode. You should now be able to upload the new software without the timeout error. You see garbage in the serial output because the baud rate is wrong. After you have flashed the OTAWebUpdater.ino set the baud rate to 115200 and you will see normal text in the serial monitor.

Hey Lasse, how difficult would it be to implement the save and Recall funktion?

now Arduino will not launch on my laptop. It worked on Saturday! says 'loading boards' then instead of saying 'starting' it just shuts down. tried reinstalling Arduino and rebooting and still won't launch.
will launch on my desktop but that computer will only show it's one COM port and doesn't recognise plugged into either USB port. |

This seems to be a common problem on Windows platforms. It has been reported by multiple users on the Arduino forums. People seem to have had success with a clean reinstall after following these instructions. See the attached PDF file in the last post here: https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=534741.15

did the system clean and reinstalled Arduino and drivers and it works again
held down the reset button as I plugged in and it appears to have rebooted - no more garbage in serial monitor. uploaded the sketch and it got further than last time. says Leaving... Hard resetting via RTS pin... nothing output to serial monitor tried closing monitor, unplugging, plugging back in and reopening monitor but still no output. I have set the baud rate to 115200. tried resetting and doing the process again and I do get a monitor message saying brownout detected. Edited by snowflake - 20 August 2019 at 1:43pm |

We seem to stumble across every possible problem. The brownout means that for some reason the microcontroller is not getting enough 5v power from the usb port. Is it possible that you try another physical USB port, a powered USB hub or even another computer? I completely understand if you want to call it quits at this point. I can post you a another controller with the latest firmware installed. You can use the box to mail me the previous one back so I can reflash it here and send it to someone else.

Let's try one more thing before we give up. As we have managed to succefully upload the OTA update firmware with the Arduino IDE we may as well flash the full DuinoDCX firmware directly.
Download and extract the attached zip file. Inside you will find a file named DuinoDCX.ino. Do not rename the directory to anything else than DuinoDCX. Open the project in the Arduino IDE and flash it like you did before. Now try powering the controller with a known good usb charger. If it still fails there is not much we can do.

Hay Lasse, sorry for the late response. I love the serial chiller you send me. It works great. I build this thing for 6 friends which use it too very ofeten. But now there is a little thing what won't work. I've bought a new 4 ch amplifier. So there must get a DCX in :D. But now I had a bigger event where I needed both DCX. I want to run both with one Serial chiller. But I can't find the second one in the software. Hardware flow was disabeled and eneabeld. First DCX was in PC Link mode second one in Link RS 485 mode. bothe term switches were pressed. I only can find the first one. Do you know this problem? |

Unfortunately no. I only own a single Ultradrive so I have not been able to test the SerialChiller with multiple units myself. The standard ttl to rs232 adapter modules will never work with multiple units, but the SerialChiller should have the required hardware setup. I will try to borrow another Ultradrive during the christmas holidays and see what is going on. Edited by Lasse Lukkari - 24 November 2019 at 3:46pm |

Lasse, I am having issues connecting via an existing wifi network. Ad hoc seems to be fine but I can't manage it via my home router or a hotspot on my phone. Home router just won't connect and it throws up an error message. Via my phone hotspot it seems to connect fine and my phone tells me it is connected but chrome won't connect to load the GUI. Any ideas? edit/ I have also sent this via PM.
