- We had a "fun" time installing our dials and buttons on a Crimson.
-
- A few things I learned that may be applicable would include:
-
- - we needed to install a powered peripheral board, which
- the daisy-chained dials and buttons were then plugged
- into.
-
- - there is a serial port manager app under the system
- management app that allows one to easily set a port as
- dials and buttons.
-
- - there is a confidence test that can help test the
- devices.
-
- Good luck!
