Help needed

[Eyeball38]

Hello,

was was wondering g if you could assist me. I have an HW-896 that was sent when I ordered a JQ6500. When connected to my windows pc it opens up as a storage device with a config and uploader, but the uploader states no jq6500 detected.

I ran your software via Linux WSL but that to fails to find a jq6500.

is there anything I can do to get this to work as I was told by the seller that it should work in exactly the same way.

thankyou

Hi! Your module might be pin compatible, but i think, the chip isn't. It uses the GD3500B Chip, while "my" module has the JQ6500 chip, which is namegiving, The "datasheet" (or better: datashit) of the HW896 provides exactly no information of the serial protocol. But as much as i can gather from it, an upload tool is not needed. Plug in the module via USB and format the device with FAT16 oder FAT32. Then copy your files. Perhaps i will order one and test it by myself.

China. It's lile the DFPlayer. One name, three different modules. Very reliable!

Good luck!

Hi, I got the same device. Basically, the JQ6500 Rescue did not find the module, so I thought it was a bad device. Every time I plugged it in Windows 10, it kept asking me to format the drive. When I read the comment, I went ahead and did the format and copied a couple MP3 files to it. It worked and the files played. If I didn't read the original comment, I would not have known to do that procedure. Now I know... Maybe put a note on your main Readme that indicates if the Rescue program does not find the JQ6500, then maybe it just needs formatting, and the files can be simply copied to it.

Thanks, Tony
