Re: QMX first time power up issue


 

And you need to press the enter key after connecting in order for the QMX to respond with the menu.

Thanks for all the useful suggestions and information. I started off by inserting 'sudo adduser $USER dialout' and received notice that I was added to the dial out group. Then when trying to add the firmware in the usual manner, same result: permission denied. I have given up on Linux and switched to my iMac. That worked first time. I now have the latest firmware installed.
Then I removed the jumper and started up again, using 7.5V. Black boxes.
So I read and printed the post Hans put up and which Roger pointed me to. I inspected all the solder joints to the LCD header connectors, found them to be okay but still reflowed the solder on each just to be sure. Same result - black boxes.?
I then checked the voltage at each pin of the 2x5 LCD header as mentioned by Hans. I fired the rig up and probed each pin with a DMM. All showed 0V except pin 3 (inside rail from the top) which showed 4.47V.
So I guess I have made some progress.
