    Hi Thanos,

    I have orderd a Digitus like yours. I thought that the profilic was simular.
    Hope that this does the trick. Thanks for the help.

    I also had a digilink converter, but that one also did not work.

    hallo
    i face the same problem.
    programming worked fine with my USB2SERIEL adapter, but in hyperterminal no connection can be established.

    is your problem solved ?
    how?

    hi tronic thx for help...

    I ordered a blue LCD ..

    and I read that it may be that one only has to adjust the contrast.
    and which one your a greater resistance is needed ... (Because it is very hot otherwise.)

    what a potimeter .. should I take the best?

    is there good? http://www.reichelt.de/?;ACTION=3;LA=5; ... 88bf3315eb



    thank you

    Just take any 10k Ohm potetiometer you can find. The only difference is that if you use a multi turn one you will have more accurate correction and it will stay put.

    First of all, what is overheating? Is your potentiometer overheating for adjusting the contrast pin?

    Don't waste your money on high quality single or multi-turn potentiometers. Just get a cheap trimmer pot, set it and forget about it.
    If you have extra resistors, you can play with some combinations between the range of 1K-10K.


    My guess is that you forgot to mention something very important... Maybe your LCD has a backlight, and the whole screen is heating up???

    If I guessed right, just put a 100-200 ohm resistor in series with the light: (+) -- RES -- A)Light(K -- (-)

    I think he is talking about overheating of the LCD screen, because of the background light.

    it cannot be soooo hot, so i think that 100-200 ohm really should be enough.

    For the contrast just try a very cheap trimmer with 10k. this worked for me!

    he says it may be that if it has the lcd display with a backlight makes it heat up then.

    and I want to prevent it ... with a 20ohms-50ohm resistance as he describes it.

    if I need a meter for optimizing the contrast set I do not know yet.
    it may be that I need one, but it may also be that I do not need.

    is always different.

    people what can be?

    If I stick purely to the first USB adapter in the flash and then the input power supply is nothing and nothing is lit.

    I make out the USB adapter and back in, then light up the LEDs and the LCD.


    and if I then put pure USB adapter into the gaming input hears the small LED light on at me!

    ... please help
