Hi Steve, Check out BlueDV: http://www.pa7lim.nl/bluedv-windows/ Here’s a tutorial: https://youtu.be/291k3VxJCv0 Bryan K7UDR

I would disagree -- because I have a device almost identical to the ThumbDV -- it is a DV3K AMBE USB dongle, and it works in the same dock just fine. I'm aware both the ThumbDV and DV3K USB dongles ha

#thumbdv

Maybe the dock isn't properly powering the ThumbDV? I have my ThumbDV on a RasPi III with a powered hub attached. It absolutely will not work on an unpowered hub, or one that has too little power. The

I assume the ThumbDV is using an FTDI device for the USB to Serial conversion. I’ve noticed similar issues when not plugged directly into the PC. This is compared to a Powered Hub. I’m starting to be

Bryan, I also have a Thumb DV which I purchased last November. I’ve tried to run it on a variety of pc’s with Windows 10 & 7 with no success, it never shows up in device manager and no led’s ever ligh

HAH! That was it! Connecting the ThumbDV directly to the laptop's embedded USB port works. Connecting it to a Dell laptop dock (powered) does not. Of course, that's terribly frustrating. The point of

Dave, I’m baffled. It looks fine. We only change a few values, as you can see in the script, and the manufacturing date is entered by hand and it is correct as well. Are you direct connected to the ma

Here's the dump: dave@Moonquake:~/projects/hamradio/NorthwestDigitalRadio/ftx-prog$ ./ftx_prog --dump ftx_prog: version 0.3 Modified for the FT-X series by Richard Meadows Based upon: ft232r_prog: ver

OK, in that case follow the instructions for fix_prog and run sudo ./ftx_prog —dump

So there's nothing I can do to program it here? I am a software developer and used to build Palm Treo smartphones 10 years ago... Willing to sign a NDA...

#thumbdv

Send it back anyways. The port detect depends on the EEPROM being programmed correctly.

#thumbdv

It means the ThumbDV is good. Did both Green/Red LEDs flash?

#thumbdv

The autodetect isn't working, but I found a port specification in your script, so here are those results: What does this mean?

It executes immediately and completes in 2 seconds. Send it to: NW Digital Radio RMA<order #> 150 Cessna Ave Roche Harbor WA 98250 Thanks, Bryan K7UDR

How long should it take to run the python script? I ran the script, then inserted the dongle and nothing happened after 1 minute: On Tue, Apr 28, 2020 at 3:42 PM Bryan Hoyer <bhhoyer@...> wrote:

By it, I mean the ThumbDV. It’s never happened before, but I have to account for the possibility. All ThumbDVs are 100% Tested with the python script I posted, running on a Pi. It’s a more comprehensi

Bryan, You said, "But based on ThumbTest.exe it may have expired in Transit".. What do you mean by "it"? What may have expired in Transit? 73,

Here’s the link to the python/linux test, you don’t need ftx_prog. https://github.com/bhhoyer/ThumbDVTest/blob/master/README.md

I have FTDI Driver 2.12.28.0 8/16/2017 on my BlueDV/Win10 system as well. Your ThumbDV is definitely 460k8 I will post our manufacturing test later today that runs a python script on Linux and does a
