ETC wireless adaptor not working

Difficulty Setting Up KP-AW155 Wi-Fi Adapter with Critter & Guitari ETC

Hello everyone,

I’m having trouble setting up a Wi-Fi adapter with my Critter & Guitari ETC video synthesizer. I recently purchased a KP-AW155 Wi-Fi adapter, which uses the Ralink RT5370 chipset. According to the ETC manual, this chipset is compatible with the device.

However, the adapter only came with drivers for Windows, and I’m using a Mac. I understand that the drivers need to be installed on the ETC itself, which runs on Linux, not on my Mac. I’m unsure if I need to configure the adapter beforehand or how to proceed with the setup.

I’ve connected the adapter to the ETC, but I’m struggling to get it working. When I try to configure the Wi-Fi settings, the device doesn’t seem to recognize the adapter, or perhaps I’m missing some steps.

Additionally, while setting up the wifi.sh script, I encountered the following line:

#!/bin/bash
create_ap wlan0 eth0 ETC_VICK etc &

I’m curious if the & at the end is necessary and what its purpose is in this context.

Could anyone provide guidance on how to properly set up the KP-AW155 Wi-Fi adapter with the ETC? Do I need to install any drivers on the ETC, or is there a specific configuration process I should follow?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Can you send a link that shows the chipset used? I looked but didn’t see the chipset spec.

hello! its a knup KP-AW155

Yes, but assuming this is the official website for that product, it doesn’t list the chipset:

Hello

the script must(!) be named WiFi.sh (uppercase W, lowercase i, uppercase F, lowercase i).

The ampersand is necessary. It means that the script shall not wait for executing that line.

I also recommend not use a password. The configuration line using your network name is
create_ap wlan0 eth0 ETC_VICK &

Insert the wireless adaptor to the second USB port.
Be sure to have the USB-Stick in the first USB port.

When you start the ETC with this setting and press the “On Screen Display” Button (right to the LED), then the Line "IP Addresse: " should show the number 192.168.12.1.
