Unable to replace failed 2413U; Yosemite, Indigo 6.1.11
Posted: Thu Aug 08, 2019 5:45 pm
I've been running indigo 6.1.11 on a mac mini with Yosemite for quite some time. It oringally had a 2414 PLC, replaced with a 2413U PLM at the end of 2014.
Recently the 2413 failed in some fashion; not the classic 'no green led' problem, just noresponses. So I reluctantly (money insanely tight right now) ordered a replacement and stuck the old 2414 back in service temporarily. The '14 is a pain because of the lack of extend commands, which makes my control rules almost unusable.
The replacement arrived today and simply isn't talking to the Mac. I've tried various cables (even though the original is talking to the old '14 perfectly happily) and even connecting it via a usb2 hub.
The symptoms range from (most of the time) the interface config dialogue not recognising it, to a few brief moments of them talking, starting to sync stuff and then a seeminlgy unending train of
with an occasional
for extra flavour.
Extra details -
The new 2413 is a v2.3, the old failed one was v 1.C.
Mac os on Yosemite.
Even though it apparently applies to newer-than-High Sierra, maybe this means sometihng -
No, I can't afford to update to latest indigo right now.
Help!
