Some helpful information from you would be;

The software version of the ET software you were trying this with.

Which operating system you were trying to use and on what kind of computer, (laptop, desktop, etc.).

Have you tried this on a different computer?

Is this a new or used device?

If not new has it worked correctly before and with which software version?

Good Luck,

Rob

Hi,

I am setting up my elogger V4 for the first time and my computer is not recognizing it.

I am using a MacBookPro running Windows 7 with VMware Fusion.

I did get an error message that a USB device was pulling to much power and that it would be disabled until I disconnected it. I have since disconnected and reconnected several times and nothing has changed I am not getting an error message anymore though.

I had the following sensors hooked to the elogger V4

OSD Pro
10hz GPS
MicroAirspeed
MicroAltimeter
High G Sensor
Optical RPM
Stabilization

Any Ideas?

All help will be greatly appreciated, I am new to this but very excited to get it set up and working.

Thanks,

Patrick

MacbookPro will NEVER work for this. It will continuously insist on turning off the power to your USB. You can try a powered USB hub but the ET products requite a native and more direct USB environment than the VMWARE container provides AKAIK.

Good luck,

Very good information, I have a powered USB hub so I'll try that or end up purchasing a cheap PC. I love and hate my Mac at the same time.

Thanks again for the response.

Snap up some refurbished off lease Dell business notebooks. I was able to buy D620's and D630's for $250 ea. They're proven tanks, fairly fast with loads of dirt cheap batteries and accessories and perfect for your field box. I bought 3 just to dedicate to RC projects.

Best of luck,

Rob
