Hello everyone,
I'm reaching out because we're having a tough time connecting our recently purchased 4bit phase modulator DLP6750Q1EVM to a Windows PC. We've been following the "EVM Instructions - Connecting to Computer and applying power" page in the instructions, but we're still running into several problems within the LightCrafter software.
Here's what's happening:
- The System Controls show as connected but it's stuck on "standby." Every time we try to reset it to normal, it just goes back to "standby” after a few seconds.
- The status isn't showing any "signed boxes." We were expecting to see "internal memory test," "slave present," "internal init," "sequence running," and "video running."
- The display is recognized in Windows settings using "hdmi," but the "Locked to External Source" option isn't getting checked after we go through the procedure.
- We had some problems connecting with DisplayPort. It shows for HDMI-cable, but it didn’t show with the DisplayPort.
We're really hoping someone can shed some light on our issues. We're happy to provide additional information or even set up a live session with the tech support team if that helps.
Just to add, our manager, who has been using two more of these devices for over a year, also had some initial setup issues back then. And it's not just us - our collaborators from another university have recently reported the exact same connection problems with their DLP6750Q1EVM device.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Best,
Florian Schiffers
