Eft Dongle
Osoulo Lejeune
A dongle is a small piece of computer hardware that connects to a port on another device to provide it with additional functionality, or enable a pass-through to such a device that adds functionality.[1]
There are varying accounts on the etymology of the word "dongle"; in a 1999 paper, P. B. Schneck stated that the origin was unclear, but that it was possibly a corruption of the word "dangle" (since these devices "dangle" from a port on a PC).[3]
A 1992 Byte magazine advertisement by Rainbow Technologies claimed that dongles were invented by and named after a person named "Don Gall", which spawned an urban legend. Linguist Ben Zimmer noted that the claim was likely a by-product of their "tongue-in-cheek" marketing style, and "was so egregiously false that the company happily owned up to it as a marketing ploy when pressed by Eric S. Raymond, who maintains the Jargon File, an online lexicon of hacker slang."[3][4]
Software protection dongles are typically used to help prevent unauthorized use and copying of certain forms of software. Initially using ports such as the serial port or parallel port, most are now in USB format.
The nRF52840 Dongle is a small, low-cost USB dongle that supports Bluetooth 5.4, Bluetooth mesh, Thread, Zigbee, 802.15.4, ANT and 2.4 GHz proprietary protocols. The Dongle is the perfect target hardware for use with nRF Connect for Desktop as it is low-cost but still support all the short range wireless standards used with Nordic devices. The dongle has been designed to be used as a wireless HW device together with nRF Connect for Desktop. For other use cases please do note that there is no debug support on the Dongle, only support for programming the device and communicating through USB.
It is supported by most of the nRF Connect for Desktop apps and will automatically be programmed if needed. In addition custom applications can be compiled and downloaded to the Dongle. It has a user programmable RGB LED, a green LED, a user programmable button as well as 15 GPIO accessible from castellated solder points along the edge. Example applications are available in the nRF5 SDK under the board name PCA10059.
The nRF52840 Dongle is supported by nRF Connect for Desktop as well as programming through nRFUtil.
On my notebook with windows 10 pro the client dongle does not work anymore.
Cannot remember which Eos-Version was installed, when it worked for the last time, but I had updates both to Nomad and to Windows since.
First, do you have a license dongle connected to the machine? The steps above are all under the assumption that someone does have a dongle. These steps are to make sure the driver for the license dongle is installed.
I use the Garmin dongle, and got one from Wahoo as well that uses the same chipset from what I can tell. They used to be readily available too, but Bluetooth has become so much more popular, but there are reasons to use ANT+. Some other sports tech use ANT+ dongles as well, but they may not be open and able to be repurposed.
Mac licenses are working properly with out any issue.
when i am switching from mac to dongle licenses for the first time, i am facing invalid host id error.
and i am able to fetch flex id from dongle using lmutil.
if i restart the machine and use the dongle licenses, no error is showing up & everything is working fine.
Previously dongle was not getting even with the tool lmutil.exe so we installed some certificates verisign universal(sha256) and verisign class 3(sha1) then dongle is started detected by lmutil.
so some certificate dependency is there.
could you please check certificates are needed to detect the dongle !?
Please note: The Bluetooth dongle does not work with AB Profile loader. The USB Cable is necessary for this connection. This dongle is required to connect to Kestrel LiNK Windows or MAC however for the 5000 Series Kestrels.
LiNK Wireless Dongle for PC or Mac allows wireless communication between any LiNK enabled model in the Kestrel 5 Series and a laptop or computer. Use the dongle and Kestrel LiNK software to install firmware updates and upload logged data from your Kestrel.
This versatile device is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems and installs in any USB port. Its advanced communications capacity enables long-range data exchange with LiNK- enabled products. This dongle is small and lightweight, which makes it easy to transport.
The Kestrel LiNK App for iOS/Android allows you to Wirelessly connect with iOS and Android devices and remotely view real-time environmental data and receive alerts for changing conditions. Available for your Kestrel 5 Series Meter or DROP Logger, Kestrel LiNK also provides easy transfer of the Kestrel's stored data log, a clear graph of all historical data. Alerts can be customized based on temperature, heat index, wind, or other measurements. LiNK enables easy firmware updates of Kestrel 5 series meters.
Kestrel LiNK for Windows and MAC provides a desktop solution for data retrieval and export as well as firmware updates. Expanded connectivity options allow you to wirelessly connect LiNK enabled Kestrel 5 Series Meters, using the optional LiNK USB Dongle, or make a wired USB connection with non-LiNK Kestrel 5 Meters using the USB Data Transfer Cable.
Kestrel LiNK devices, including the Kestrel 5000 series meters and Kestrel DROP data loggers, can now connect to the cloud-based Ambient Weather Network (AWN) platform for extended remote monitoring capabilities.*
You can set up your Kestrel device at any desired location that has an internet connection and then view the onsite conditions from wherever you are -- on the AWN app or AmbientWeather.net. You do not have to be onsite to remain in the know about your weather conditions.
Download the AWN app*The Kestrel LiNK device data transfer to the AWN cloud platform functionality is specific to Android devices, as the integration with AWN and the transmission of data via the LiNK app relies on the Android platform's capabilities. The Android device must be within Bluetooth range and connected to the internet in order to transmit data from the Kestrel device to the AWN cloud platform. This allows for real-time monitoring and data analysis from virtually anywhere.
Yes. Once you make the settings to the DROP (custom name, logging rate, data refresh rate), those settings stay with the DROP itself. This means that all anyone else would have to do is download the Kestrel LiNK) app from the Google or iTunes App store and connect to the DROP to access.
This is dependent on a setting for the DROP in the Manage Data Log section. If you go to Manage->Manage Data Log, you will notice a Wrap Log toggle button. If the Wrap Log toggle button is slid to the right (indicates ON), then the oldest logged data will be overwritten when the data logger is full. If the slide is to the left (indicates OFF), then no more data will be collected when the data logger becomes full.
If you have registered an eLicenser-based license with your MySteinberg account that already offers the option of switching to the new Steinberg Licensing system, you will find the following entry ...
Yesterday to double/treble check I quit and rebooted Cubase 2/3 times after removing the dongle to see if everything was stable, it worked perfectly dongle-less so I was confident, all was good. Not sure why today it needs the dongle inserting to work.
I updated all Steinberg software (by using Steinberg Download Assistant), all Virtual Instruments, Expansions packs and transfer all using the new licensing system.
In a previous post, there is a link to all Steinberg product compatible win the new Steinberg License.
Hello, I had the same issues. Only the vst T guitar and E Bass.
I must confess I am not completely dongle free. The plug ins were not recognized anymore after moving to the new licence in halion 6 or sonic but still in SE. But I still got the same message your talking about. At the end I removed these plugins en reinstalled again and no message anymore. But these plug ins are still not recognized by halion 6 and Sonic . If I have to use them I have to use them in SE. In the future I will update to Halion 7 and the Sonic version presuming it will be recognized again in Halion due to the new licence system.
I saw a comment that people want to hide their Logitech Unifying dongle (and other random small easy to lose dongles. Tried a design with a standard USB-A 2.0 socket recessed inside. Not enough room for another connector to expand outward sadly.
It would be completely out of official USB spec, but as this board will be secure in a little box and ideally only plugged in once, you could ditch the USB-A host connector entirely and shape the edge of the circuit board to be the inner section of the host connector. This would be a friction fit where you jam the circuit board into the device connector. I have seen lots of products with the device side of the connection but never anything with the host side.
The other route is just buy the unifying receivers and indeed crack them open and solder them to the board. Might be cheap enough, the receivers are about 15-20 euro per unit. That will also probably give you the option to make a USB hub inside and add an external USB-A or C port, or an SD slot or whatever.
@Sebastian_Oort Yes, surface contacts and a retaining clip is one of the options I was talking about on my own post before I saw this thread. I think that is the way to go if Logitech or any other mouse manufacturer are all unwilling to license.
I use one of those little flash drives as a music source in my car. Another contains reference documents for cameras and other goodies, that I may want to move around with. All find ways that work for us.
Want to wirelessly connect a Logitech Flow or Easy-Switch mouse to a second computer? Simply add an extra Unifying receiver and plug it into your second computer. Then use a Logitech Flow mouse to seamlessly cut, paste...
