Cyclapse Classic
Troubleshooting Guide
DigiSnap Power
A switching power supply inside the Cyclapse Power Module converts the battery power
to a 5V power supply, to power the DigiSnap 2700 intervalometer and accessories. As
long as the battery pack has 10 volts or more, the supply should be able to power the
DigiSnap.
The green test point on the Cyclapse Power Module will indicate the output voltage of
the 5V power supply.
DigiSnap Power Supply Voltage Range:
0 volts: There is no output from the 5V power supply! The Cyclapse Power
Module may have failed.
0-4.5V: The power supply voltage is out of tolerance, and may not properly power
the DigiSnap and accessories.
4.5-5.5V: The camera power supply is working fine.
>5.5V: The power supply voltage is out of tolerance, and may possibly damage
the DigiSnap.
USB Power
An auxiliary 5V power supply output is available for network accessories such as a
router. The DigiSnap 2700 controls this 5V output, turning it on & off. This 5V output
power is available on the Mini-USB cable coming from the bottom of the Cyclapse
Power Module.
The blue test point on the Cyclapse Power Module will indicate the USB power output.
USB Power Voltage Range:
0 volts: There is no auxiliary output power. The DigiSnap 2700 has the ability to
control this output. Try disconnecting the square 4 pin cable at the DigiSnap, and
see if the USB power supply voltage turns back on.
0-4.5V: The power supply voltage is out of tolerance, and may not properly power
network equipment.
4.5-5.5V: The output is turned on, and the voltage is correct.
>5.5V: The power supply voltage is out of tolerance, and may possibly damage
network equipment.
Most Common Problems
#1 Cannot connect to the DigiSnap
The interface to the DigiSnap 2700 is the same as used for all of the DigiSnap 2000 series
controllers, designed in 1999. It's actually a very simple interface, and is completely
usable today. However simple it is, there are several steps to follow to establish
communication on your computer or mobile device.
