Hi there,
I have my Vocore Screen working for abaout a month now.
But Since yesterday i keep getting Error and cannot start any dahes anymoe.
I'm not sure if the some of the electronics of the Screen have broken or if it's Software relate to Simhub.
Powerup of the Vocore is working (Complete White Screen)
When Simhubs starts it gets only a staic image noise (see picture here).
In the Logs it says something about Communcation Error (see attached).
Can anybody help me please?
Thanks i advance
Benny

Hi ! Indeed something sneaky is occuring with the hardware, the log indeed shows an erorr during the communication (somewhere between driver/device. I've updated the documentation to show how to test the screen using the manufacturer demonstation, it's a simple but effective way to locate if the issue is truly at hardware level : https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki/Dashstudio---USB-Displays#vocore-testing

Thank You! I'll test this in the evening, so i can see if the Board/Screen is broken or I can nail it down to the Software.
Awesome quick response here! 🙂
Couldn't resist and tested directly.
=> Effect is the same as with Simhub, I'm getting this picture on the Vocore (see attached file).
I assume this is NOT the "basic bitmap" as said in the descritption? 🙁
No unfortunately the picture should be the same as the product page (The fallout picture). Here it looks the same as what is happening when simhub is trying to send the picture. So it means it's something between the drivers and the hardware. In the zip file you will find the official driver as distributed by the manufacturer (for simhub usage I packed a custom version more stable) it's worth trying with this official one.
