My colorDMD LED arrived yesterday from the latest run. I had to use 4 different USB sticks to get it to update. The stick that worked I bought back in 2004, was 128 MB capacity. I formatted them all to Fat 32 beforehand. Anyway took about an hour of trial and error and searching - that old stick was in a box in storage I hadn't touched in years.
Maybe the website could benefit from providing a list of know compatible USB drives?
LED DMD looks great BTW. I have the Brightness and Contrast up high, bent plastic stops the reflection.
Quoted from Dmod:Sorry you had so much trouble. I'm not aware of any specific drives that are incompatible with the ColorDMD.
We have some troubleshooting information on the SUPPORT page. The issue with USB drives is generally due to formatting, or due to an error reading the file allocation table. Quick format may not correct the issue and a full reformat may be required. Often the easiest solution is just using a new USB drive.
If using a Mac to do the formatting, please be aware there are different variants of FAT32. The drive must be formatted using Microsoft FAT32 (MS-FAT).
Maybe quick format was the problem? You should consider putting something in your notes on the ROM page about formatting as fat32 with a pc without quick format.
Loving the dmd!
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Uh, they do
Nothing on there about not to use quick format, not last night anyway.
I'm just glad it works....
