nmonkman Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I have another controller that is acting up on me. I had this problem before, but it was because I had the unit id set to 00 for reset.This is a blue board 40 amp deluxe kit. I tested this controller weeks ago and it was working fine. Now when I power it up the LED flashes very fast and the hardware utility will not recognize it. I double checked to make sure it is set to 11.I tried powering it off, removing it from the network and setting the ID to 00, Waited 30 seconds, turned it off, set it back to 11 and it still will not work. My show starts tomorrow.My series numbering is as follows01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,0A, 0B,0C,0D,0E,10,11,12.Please help, anyone
nmonkman Posted November 25, 2011 Author Posted November 25, 2011 OK. it works if I use 01 as the ID?????????????Is 11 not a valid number??
nmonkman Posted November 25, 2011 Author Posted November 25, 2011 Ok. after the fourth reset, it appears to be functioning.We'll see...this is my luck we are talking about

bisquit476 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Hi Neil,I've heard of the rotary switches needing to be "spun around" several times to get them to work. Not sure if that's what happened or not,Bill
Max-Paul Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Looks like bisquit beat me to the draw. Have heard that the contacts can get dirty and not make connections within the switch. And that exercising the switch contacts can clean them up and get the switch working.
