Help Please MCP Not recognized sioc

[bussgarfield]

Hi David,
Hope you are well.

You are right as usual and I missed that post but with post 10, it was assumed that it was the usb connection that may be at fault. The usb issue seems to have been rectified so again it might be worth a try at the test to see if all the led's light up.

1. Nothing comes on
2.Some Led's Come on
3.Some Led's Come on USB not recognized

Sorry but I don't have a tester but I did connect a 5V led to the power supply and It worked fine. The folk's at Opencockpit's suggest to insert a "USB PCI into internal USB motherboard" Which I haven't Got a clue what there on about!

So I'm a bit tangled in thoughts, gee I expected it to work...

Henju,

The tester comes with the MCP sotware download from the OpenCockpits site. The whole download is very small so it is worthwhile doing to at least rule out any power or led problems.
The usb PCI that OpenCockpits are referring to is a card housing a number of extra usb sockets that plug into a spare PCI slot on your mother board. Not a bad suggestion if you know how to fit it as not only will it give you more usb access points at the rear of your computer it will also rule out any issues there may be with a usb hub (if in fact you are using one). This assumes of course that you are using a desk top computer as opposed to a laptop.

Down load the OC software to get the tester and if all the led's work after the test you can begin to look else where. It is prudent to get the basics out of the way first.

No I have run the OC test program I Thought he meant a voltage tester and no I am using a laptop

Sorry if I seem a bit not well quipped but it's gonna have to do for now with a laptop so what now?

[bussgarfield]

What software are you using to run the MCP. Is it the software down loaded from OC? I know they say the MCP is plug and play but it does require a little input from the user. The sioc system that OC use is very good but does require some research and understanding from the user. I also find it difficult to get my head around so you wouldn't be alone.

From previous posts, it would appear that your power and usb connections are ok so there must be something else that has been over looked.

Hi Gary, trust you are well and enjoying sunny Spain
The issue here is that the MCP is NOT recognised by the PC when plugged into either a main USB port or via a powered hub, so reloading software etc sadly will not help

Based on the answers to my recent post it would appear that either the pc`s usb power supply or MCP`s power circuitry is faulty/inadequate. I base this on the fact that when the external power supply is connected then some leds come on, however, when only the MCP USB connection is made, nothing lights up.

If the MCP will still not light up, or be recognised via the USB on another computer, preferably with a different operating system AND other devices work on the same USB port, then it points at the MCP being faulty

Hi Henju,

If possible I would like to help you. Perhaps I could connect to your PC trough Teamviewer and see if I can
help that way ? I just helped another simmer this way, and we found a solution

I could take photos if you stay online, I don't have a webcam or you could give me your email address for some sort of facebook chat type thing I think they have it on GMAIL

Thanks and Best regards
