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! Doug |

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. |

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. |

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