Newb 633 USB Display issue

[troopern69]

Just got the 633 and installed is through usb and loaded the latest drivers and CrystalControl.

LCD screan Displayed as follows

Crystalfontz 633
HW:v1.3 FW:v1.5

When I play around with the crystal control, the program displays my selected module but the actual LCD screen stays the same as before. Nothing I do seems to change the display...

Everying thing seems in order... I'm I missing something here?

thx

Does it show up in the device manager like this:

If not, please follow the USB software install here:

If it does, what COM port does device manager report? Is that the one you used with CrystalControl?

If you use 633_WinTest can you talk to the module?

I received my 633 today and it is setup according to what is listed in device manager. The problem is that the display does not light up. There is no text. I tried using 633 Win_test on the assigned COM port and nothing happens.

What could the issue be?

By default, you need to conect the floppy power cable to the "PWR" connector on the 633.

Did you do that?

That solves it! Thanks. A manual would have been a lot of help, however!

You are correct . . . we are working on one.
