March 27, 2012 at 08:51 AMMar 27, 2012 I have received my order today, thank you. Master brick, IR distance measuring bricklet, and 4x20 LCD display. I thought, "Input and output; let's see what we can do!" Very impressed with build quality, documentation, support, security of delivery, etc. On WinXP, I have installed Brick daemon and it is listed with status "Started" in Services (under Administative Tools"). I have installed Brick Viewer, and started it. Following instructions at http://www.tinkerforge.com/doc/Hardware/Bricks/Master_Brick.html#test-your-master-brick "Connect the Brick to the PC over USB. You should see a tab named “Master Brick” in the Brick Viewer after you pressed “connect”. Select it." There is a blue status light on Master Brick, and the Extension status LEDs did some sequential blinks up and down. I have pressed "Connect" in Brick Viewer, but there is no tab named “Master Brick”. I have host "localhost" and Port 4223. IR Distance and 4x20 Display are not yet connected. Is there a step I have missed?
March 27, 2012 at 09:16 AMMar 27, 2012 Some ideas: Do you have installed the drivers? Please check if the drivers are installed correctly. (see http://www.tinkerforge.com/doc/Software/Brickd.html#windows-driver-installation) Do you have restarted your PC after the Brick Daemon installation? If not please try it. Also you can take a look into "Administrative Tools -> Events". If there are any problems they should be listed there.
March 27, 2012 at 09:35 AMMar 27, 2012 Author Yes, restarted the PC after installing the daemon, and I installed the drivers OK. I have just restarted again (after retiring to bed) to inform you of these which I had forgotten earlier. We are working now! Perhaps after a second restart (after drivers installed) it all comes together. Thanks for your prompt reply. Back to bed for me now. More tomorrow. Cheers :-)
