yesterday I got contact w new member Corlight (@M. as admin: feel free to read my PN)
we're talking about

on 60 € priceclass quite ok, but:
a) couldn't contact (only tried telephone...)
b) Only Win-version of QLC+ is always fine (AFAIK...)
c) I suggest different charges:
- ones, who can be flashed
- others who can't

my question is right now: how does QLC+ interpret the empty (or simply NULL) S/N on FTDI's
what if toLatin1() returns "\0" as I read somewhere in qt docus...
btw: udev SUBSYSTEM does not need RegEx "*" as wildcard. Sure

if we could continue in peace now again, Dear Massimo, I think you're on a good way...
Would you please show me the right place in code, where the SerialNo. should be get from FTDI-Chip into new and reworked v4.10?

* OSX - sure not me ...
* QLC+_4.10.0-TEST-20150925.exe on WinXP has correct DMX output

* Linux (Gentoo, Kernel v4.2.3 / gcc v4.9.3)
+ the good: qt4 x86 build fine, no more "garbage" in S/N displayed
- but no Output - again only with NULL instead of serial().toLatin1() in

Again good old Patch, to get at least one restive FTDI working...

Dear all,

I have a problem with the JMS USB2DMX Pro converter on Win10. Converter works fine on OSX but on Win10 it seems that no DMX data is send to the controller.
Latest driver for Windows is installed. No errors in Windows Devie Manager. QLC+ Version 4.12.4. Device is recognised and selected as output in the In/Out-Manager.

In other posts I read that the missing serialnumber of the JMS USB2DMX Pro is causing the problem. I tried to reprogramm (enter a serialnumber) the converter with FT_Prog as mentioned in another post but the converter doesn't keep the changes after I klick 'programm'. When I rescan the devices the serial is empty again.

As I can read here there is a patch to get at least one USB2DMX Pro converter working. But unfortunately I don't know how to patch QLC+ with the sourcecode posted here:

https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/c ... 6b68ce7ea2

Any help would be highly appreciated. :)

Thanks in advance,
Smove
