Etherdream 3 issue

[AntwanThompson1]

Hello. I am experiencing some weird stuff with my etherdream.

My computer, windows, does not want to recognize the device. If i put in ethernet cable the sitter sees the device with what ever firmware installed back in 2022. Having connected to etherdream to my laser it just displays a red dot.
I am going to get a new ilda cable, but could the problem be due to my etherdream gone faulty. have not used it since my lasers galvos broke - maybe that was caused by some malfunctioning with the etherdream?

Either way - can i flush the device if the ilda cable is not the thing messing stuff up? i am pretty desperate here,hmmm

oh btw, i got my laser fixed and it runs shownet editor okay, so the ilda reciever is not broken in the laser

Might want to send a pm to j4cbo here on the forum. He can help you troubleshoot your Etherdream.

If you are certain that your ILDA cable is good (which I think is the case, as you said you tested it with a Laserworld Shownet controller and you said it worked that way), then I agree that the problem must be with the Etherdream.

However, based on what I've heard from other Etherdream users, I would not expect this to be a hardware failure of the Etherdream itself. Rather, I suspect your software is not able to communicate with the Etherdream controller.

It could be something as simple as having the wrong drivers installed, or having your software configured incorrectly (such that the software is unable to communicate with the Etherdream controller), or it could be a networking problem.

Others here on the forum may be able to assist you further if you post details of your setup. (operating system, laser show software, network configuration, etc.)

Good luck with that, j4cbo hasn't logged on to PL since 12/22.
