I have found a temporary workaround for the IR problem - I just disabled the GX receiver and use my Microsoft receiver. I still didn't get a confirmation from MO if my IR problem is hardware or software. For me fixing XP MCE problem would be the top priority. I purchased GX to replace my working alf...

Error

When I run DriverCore Manager (DriverCoreTray.exe), and click on Configure Matrix Orbital GX Series via right click, I am getting the following error message. What would that mean?

This is what I thought. But you still offer optional internal cable where polarity could be reversed. You should realize that to save a few dollars many people prefer to make their own internal cable or adapter. And those who can make such an adapter are less likely to reverse the polarity. My point...

I have to stay with XP MCE so far. What can be done to randomize the shot? Different USB controller or port? Startup sequence? DriverCore manager? I still can't understand: why do you guys write and debug LcdInfo instead of writing a plugin for LCD Studio? If there is a good reason for this competit...

Dgephri: could you post a few pictures with your GX taken apart? One thing I don't like: there is little bit of black sticky material in the front of my unit along the edges of the big square slot left exposed. It will probably trap some dust, and it doesn't look nice. I wonder if there is a simple ...

If you solder on your header (even where it is supposed to be), will this void your warranty?

Ray: For now I only need to confirm if this is a HARDWARE or SOFTWARE problem. In the first case I will return my GX, in the second case I will wait until you come up with software updates.

They do not connect one pin: http://pinouts.ru/Slots/USB_pinout.shtml Also MO might consider adding the 4 pin header. The pads are there on the PCB and the header soldered on the prototype, but I guess for the mass production the header for some reason was not attached. The simple internal 4-pin cab...

According to Ray, the difference between V2 and V3 is presence of IR blaster in V2. As I understand, your V3 GX receiver is not working properly (same as mine).

Ray: could you explain what is happening with IR control and MCE shell display functionality?

Q: Can I design my own MCE screens?
A: Yes you can, we will provide a guide how to do this very soon
It looks like the best and most natural way for you guys is to write an MCE plugin for LCDStudio. Is this what you are talking about?

I think since the display always goes INSIDE the case, MO should supply INTERNAL cable first, and external should be optional.

Ray: Based on my description, is my unit defective? Should I return it, or you can come up with some test procedures? Another question for Ray: when I run LcdInfo.exe ( my version is 1.0.0.58 ), it only cycles through the sequence of Matrix Orbital logo, time and CPU info. It never shows any MCE rel...

The front panel support for mce will not be done by lcdstudio, it will have its own application. for IR support nothing is needed inside studio, the GX follows the microsoft ehome reciever specifications so windows will pick up on it out of the box without any additional software. I received my GX ...

I need to decide if I should wait for the firmware update, or maybe there is some temporary workaround? Otherwise my new Typhoon GX will be totally useless. How long this will take to make a firmware update? And what happens if we connect both: Typhoon GX and Microsoft receivers at same time? Will t...
