I just spent two days at home and work reading up on why my strobe wouldn't fire?
My wife ordered a DS 125 kit with arm and cable from B&H. But the strobe wouldn't fire after I plugged it in.
After checking my set up over and over TTL cord with blue ribbon etc....
I finally found the problem!
The top of the hotshoe has a Arrow pointing forward. I was putting the hotshose on backwards. After rotating and properly installing the hotshoe, all is well.
Props to Peter Schultz and his excellent website for how to set the Oly5050.

I hope this post helps someone else from feeling like a Moron!
