Gadget II not working after extensive trouble shooting - URGENT

Hi all,

 

I’ve just purchased a ETC nomad license key and a GADGET II.

 

Here are my issues:

  • The gadget isn’t responding to signals sent from a Mac or Windows machine

 

The specifics of what it isdoing:

  • It is appearing as a local DMX output on System Settings>Output
  • It’s appearing under diagnostics as ‘I/O Board Firmware Version 1.1.0.4’

 

The specifics of my primary setup:

  • Mac Mini running MacOS Mojave V10.14.6
  • Running ETC EOS version 3.0.0 Build 389
  • ETC Gadget 2, Purchased new a few days ago from Stage Electrics UK

 

What I’ve done so far to troubleshoot:

  • Changed cables (DMX and USB)
  • Tested the dimmer pack with different LX controller, it worked fine.
  • Attached the gadget to a Windows machine and in the shell, under Settings>Maintenance updated the firmware multiple times until it was no longer an option to do so.
  • Tried the Gadget on two separate Mac’s, one on Catalina, one on Mojave.

 

I’m a A-Level Drama Technical Student creating a play for my exam. Under the current COVID crisis, my return to school has been very fast paced and I am already behind schedule as a result of this so advice ASAP would be greatly appreciated as the system was also purchased as a result of my recommendation. So far, my recommendation isn’t boding well in the department, but I can assure you It will most-definitely be an upgrade from the ADJ MyDMX buddy we used to use!

 

Thanks in advanced for any help!
