I've set up our new Cyber Commander to work with our two new Einsteins and the ABR800 ringflash (using CSRB+) without a hitch. Each light is on a separate channel. Einsteins on 1 and 2, ABR800 on 3, and now the Speedlite 580EX II on channel 4. I've set up the Cyber Commander correctly. And I can trigger the Speedlite using the test button on the CSRB+.... but when I try to trigger from the Cyber Commander I get nothing..... although all of the other flashes that are setup trigger fine. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Make sure the CSRB+ is on the same frequency as everything else. Anything beyond that is over my head.

I have all of the receivers set to their individual channels... but all are set to Frequency 01.

At the bottom of the graph, does CH 4 have a white dash, gray dash or no dash?

You should see white dashes under CH's 1-3 for a reference of where you are looking and what you are looking for.

It has a white dash.

By the way.... I'm using the mini-PC cable which came with the CSRB+

I have the 580EX II in Manual mode.... dialed down the power so I could test easier.

I have 2 580EX-II's and I have found triggering them via PC sync to be very squirrely. Make sure the flash isn't set to master or slave mode - I think that helped one time. But if the test button on the CSRB+ fires the flash consistently then that shouldn't be the problem.

Interesting......

The flash does fire consistently using the test button and PC sync... it just won't fire remotely via Cyber Commander... :-/

The flash isn't set in Master or Slave mode.....
