FB4 Quickshow control, no ILDA output

[Yves Saint-Germain]

Hi everybody,
I just bought an FB4 MAX card (without box) to connect my ILDA laser and use Quickshow to control it.
The computer seems to recognize the card connected with RJ45 network cable but I have no ILDA output to the laser. I know the ILDA on my laser is working, I had mini ILDA before.
I read somewhere that no ILDA output was available in QS/Beyond mode... Did I buy the wrong product or is there another mode I should use?
I wonder if all the FB4 versions work the same or not...
Help me I have a show to program quickly !

Hi, Yves Saint!
Describe (or photograph) what physical connections you made.
Which mode is set to FB4?
What are the LEDs on the FB4?

In order for your Quick Show to control your laser via FB4, you must have a DB-25 (female) connector and connect it (solder) to the:
- Color Output (8 pin)
- Axis (X and Y scanner) Outputs (6 pin)
- Shutter Actuator Output (2 pin)
to the corresponding contacts DB-25

See ILDA and https://wiki.pangolin.com/hardware:fb4:manual for more information.

The FB4 ILDA Daughterboard Connector, which is part of the FB4 MAX, is designed to connect an external (non-FB4) controller
