Easy light linker

[SnappyTom]

I plugged one into the computer with the usb485. The other into the controller. No lights light up on the linker that's plugged into the computer. So it's not communicating using the refresh button. I have version 2.6.0 hardware. Any ideas? Thanks

I think I need a USB485B also to power the ell plugged into my computer?

YES

Plug the PC into the LOR, the LOR into the ELL, apply power to the LOR - this is the transmit end.

Plug the ELL into the LOR, apply power.

All should work now. You should see the ELL icon on the hardware util activate and showing a transmit condition. Its real important that you cycle the power on the receiving end if there are any issues.

I would like to plug the ell into the computer transmite through the wall and have an ell on the first controller.

outside - ELL - controller #7

all is well!

Great! I have a usb485b on the way. Will this eliminate the usb485 or do I use the 485 and 485b together.
