Hello ~ I received my Vidiot today, for the life of me I can’t figure out how to generate any visuals with it :upside_down_face: I’m using NTSC, loop set to down, colorizer out to my display (C64 monitor). Cycling through the modulation presets doesn’t change or enable anything, nor does turning p…

Yes, sounds DOA. It could be something very simple, like the internal board-to-board cable has been installed in a reversed orientation (which would explain why it passed QC initially, but then probably skipped the output check after final assembly.) Send over the support ticket when you get a chan…

Same here :frowning: tested with a couple of PVMs with he same processes marked above, no signal. Tested a couple of other sources through the same cable and monitor intput and they come through fine. I’ll submit a ticket.

I can now confirm that it looks like some units escaped with the internal cable flipped the other way around. If you are DIY handy and would rather disassemble and reassemble the unit to flip the cable around instead of going through the hassle of sending it back, you are authorized to do so withou…

Whoa that worked! Is the ribbon cable itself assembled wrong? It doesn’t look like it should stick out towards the back panel. 15386094898174846262915113018002|375x500

The cables we’re using are just ones we have in stock for EuroRack module power cables, so yes – that’s as intended (it fits in the case just fine.) Rev1 had a much smaller connector that mated directly to the rear board and made assembly difficult (not to mention an expensive part) so this is a be…

Thanks, I’ve closed it back up and spent all evening jamming with it. The footage available online don’t do it justice, there’s so much in there! You can close my ticket.

You beat us to it! Here are some photos, too: [image] Vidiot: How to fix internal cable orientation Helpdesk In late September 2018 we had a batch of Vidiots (we suspect no more than 20-25 units) escape with an incorrect cable orientation inside the unit. These units wi…

I’ve spent the evening trying to get mine to work as well. First I thought it was a problem with the settings on my Intenstity Shuttle but now I’m noticing it actually captures something - black noise! Nothing happens when I turn the pots or flip the switches. The Intensity Shuttle itself works fine…

I opened it up and it turned out the cable was installed incorrectly. Fixed it and now it’s working.

I’m very sorry for the waste of an evening, but super glad to hear you’ve got it up and running now.
