Yes, almost instantly after the command to do something is sent to the VDIP it will respond.
So you need to be ready to receive.
I am wondering about the direct copy from one device to another the more I think about it. The VDIP will send data all at once but you have to tell the VDIP how much data it is to receive. So you will somehow have to figure that part out.
Maybe there is a built in copy command with the VDIP?

there is a CPS command which i have read in the manual that will copy the source disk to the target disk
and the CPS-file which will copy a particular file from the source to the target disk. these are available only for the VDFC firmware..
have you tried these commands already? do you think that using these commands, i will still be needing to tell the vdip how much data to recieve?

No, I have not tried it. But if it is there it should work.
Changing the firmware is easy. So give it a try.

yes i would definitely do that.. but just to double check, after i have downloaded the reflash(ftd) for the VDFC firmware, will there be a need to rename it or do anything to it before saving it to the root of a flash disk?
|
The file needs to be named FTRFB.FTD
Put that file on the root of a USB stick and the VDIP should see it and re-do the firmware.

this is the name of the file that i downloaded in the website: ftrfb_main_03_65VDFC.ftd, so i will rename it to FTRFB.FTD...
now i will be redoing the firmware, i wii just be powering the vdip by its ground and vcc pins and i dont need to connect anything to the vdip yet right? how do i know if the firmware had already been installed?

I always had the VDIP outputting to a terminal so I could see what was going on.
There are two LEDs on board that blink in different sequences for different things. I do not remember the sequence but it is in the documentation.
Yes, I know the docs are hard to find and not well organized. That is one of the things that is bothersome about the company that makes them.
