freeman Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hi, last year I backed the OpenScope campaign but only now were able to test the board. It seems that I am not able to start the OpenScope MZ. If I apply 5V (PC or external power supply), the red LED does blink shortly for a few seconds and then stays off. The overall board gets a bit hot around ~46C. I suspect that somewhere a component does not work properly, but I can not find the exact position. Also I am not able to establish a connection between the board and my computer. Does somebody have an idea what the problem could be?

Kristoff Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hey freeman, Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Assuming you have a Windows computer (let us know if not) can you try: Open Windows Device Manager Expand Ports and make note of the ports listed Connect the OpenScope MZ to the PC via USB Check if any additional ports are listed. Let us know what you find. Also, does the Blue LED flash at all? Thanks! -Kristoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeman Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Hi Kristoff, thank you for the kick. Indeed the device works flawlessly! I expected the device to show up in the Digilent Agent immediately. After checking that the device is shown under "system properties - usb devices" (I'm on a mac), I started Waveform live, did a firmware update and from there everything works fine! (LED: There was only a very short flash of a red LED and otherwise no visual feedback.) Thank you very much! Cheers, freeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
