toymakr000 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 It's a new year for setup and debug for more controllers.I have 4 new CTB16 PC's They were built from kits. These will be # 13-16 controllers that I've assembled.The latest 4 is what I'm having trouble connecting with. I don't remember having problems last year but I could have forgotten:PWhen i connect power and the 485 cable, which works on an existing older unit,The LED blinks but in a faster pattern than a working non-connected unit. It also never connects to the hardware utility. do i have to load firmware on new units now?Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Sounds to me that the firmware may not be loaded for some reason. I had one controller that was like that when I got it assembled. Try loading with the 4.32 that is in 2.6.0 software. You will then need to set an ID in the unit.There is definately a different flash pattern for no firmware.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymakr000 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Sorry to waste everyone's time...It was a non-rookie mistake...I put the jumper on the top pin reset....reset......reset.....reset.....That's what happens when you build too many and start assuming stuff:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
