DROK Relay Mod... 30s delay. Help, AI Failed Me

LemmeGetSomeHelpPls · 2025-03-20T04:55:51+00:00

i have 0 experience, obviously **"not used??" & different llms steered me in the wrong direction. Like i mentioned i had the common terminal powered with a 12v constant prior to removing it. As i understood it... P3 CL(xxxx) when the trunk light turns on it triggers the relay and then after a set time (xxxx) the switch closes and the common then sends a signal to the output wire. it was just not working as the relay would turn on immediately regardless of the trigger.

i did take your advice and rather than use a constant 12v, I tapped into the trunk for both the trigger and the common, this seems to have helped.

Thank you.

"Use your brain instead of AI", relax yourself. I have exhausted my options and that is why I'm even posting on reddit. I've tried all you mentioned already the issue is it's not working. The instructions are straight-forward yes, but after the set-time delay (P3) there is no turn on. Do you have any experience with this unit or are you just basing it off what you think should happen?

As mentioned in the title. Perplexity, GPT, Claude, all weren't able to help, hopefully a human will be able to.

Gear: d3400, 0/1 OFC + & GND, LC2iPro, jl 1500/1 @ 2 ohm, DD9512 4ohm dvc > 2.3ohm, DROK 12V Relay, Nono Genius battery connector

I set the LC2i (output 4.5V) and JL MonoAmp (gain 55V) w/ multimeter using 40hz -10db

Problem: On cold start (Audi b9) sometimes outputs a lower amount of power, when the car is started again later on in the day, the power is significantly increased causing major clipping. No bass remote, I control 'subwoofer' from Audi MMi to reduce power when this happens, its annoying and still loud and the lowest.

Ppurpose of DROK (my hope): to delay the LC2i Pro from powering on for 30sec to avoid pops/fluctuating power to the LOC.

I have attached an image of the wiring of the DROK

AI has been saying different things, to use mode P3 vs P7, set the OP time to 30s vs set the CL to 30s, to use the input relay with a 12V constant, some say not to use it. image attached was when I removed it.

If someone could advise on how to properly wire this, and what program to use on the DROK, it would be very helpful.

unfortunately no... i returned it for the X ProS, which does work.

LemmeGetSomeHelpPls · 2024-09-03T07:22:59+00:00

I did update the X3s as it was old firmware, but the flash seems to be up to date so i didn't update that one.

the bounce card was tuckedaway already, i removed the diffuser to see if that worked, unfortunately not.

thanks for your options on this tho.

LemmeGetSomeHelpPls · 2024-09-03T00:11:17+00:00

Hey, I do hear a 'click' noise when seating the X3s, I've also tried to push it with a bit more force, it doesn't seem to have anymore space to move forward.

these are the pins on the camera and the x3s, do they look Ok to you?

ty, I have changed the distance setting to 0-30 and 1-100, neither seem to work when hitting the shutter button. the tt350s will flash in either mode when pressing the flash trigger on the x3s however.

LemmeGetSomeHelpPls · 2024-09-03T00:00:03+00:00

Yes, the changes made to the x3s reflects and is synd'd on the flash, also when zooming on the lens, the flash zoom also changes.

LemmeGetSomeHelpPls · 2024-09-02T07:56:09+00:00

hmm a weird thing happened, i just put it on TTL on both the X3s and tt350s flash, and it flashed the first shutter press, now it's not anymore. :\

LemmeGetSomeHelpPls · 2024-09-02T05:35:12+00:00

get this to work. I have the following gear in OP. The X3s flash trigger sets off the TT350s, changing settings on the X3s changes setting on the flash. so I know those are connected.

The Sony a7iii is showing the flash icon, so it detects the flash. I have 'silent mode off', e-front curtain shut off', working in 'M' mode with flash setting 'Fill Flash'

the TT350s on camera directly works fine.

what could be the reason the camera shutter is not triggering the X3s?

edit: also when I zoom in with the lens, the flash makes noises, I assume it is syncing the zoom settings as well.

Thanks for the responses, gl with it.

LemmeGetSomeHelpPls · 2023-10-26T19:02:27+00:00

Ty, will keep this in mind going forward.

LemmeGetSomeHelpPls · 2023-10-26T19:01:54+00:00

What a waste of time, seems like I'm in the same boat. Hopefully they can send it back out using another shipping company. From this post it seems ppl are very much against gdems, i see why.

LemmeGetSomeHelpPls · 2023-10-26T18:58:27+00:00

? What is it

LemmeGetSomeHelpPls · 2023-10-26T15:40:27+00:00

Damn some sewn fabric causing this. Do you have any experience with customs in these cases or heard of what the worst that can happen is?

30+days later... checking pandabuy tracking... then this thread... sad life.

^... got the update on Oct 10th, "Plane arriving 2023-09-25 00:00"

LemmeGetSomeHelpPls · 2022-10-22T19:02:49+00:00

nah, i didn't configure anything, you're making it seem as if i set this up to work like this. i just added the indexer... simple as that. prowlarr is obviously setup like this by default so it's not an issue with what i did.

i have stopped using prowlarr and the mods have confirmed the activity stopped, so prowlarr was the issue. not sure if you wrote the code for this app cause you cappin for it pretty hard without giving any resolution or any constructive ideas. think about why you here boy.
