AlanMChristensen Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Greetings!I have 15A PC boards that I can only get one to work at the moment. All units have power and 3 of the 4 are unable to connect via the hardware 1.6.1 version and the 2.demo.All 4 boards are being directly connected to the serial connector in the computer and again only one has worked so far..What am I missing here?

AlanMChristensen Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Also all boards have blinking lights until the hardware utility runs then they go solid like they have been found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbottomley Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 You need to set the ID on each unit one at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanMChristensen Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 These are the PC boards though. They don't have hard set dials like the 20A boards do.. My understanding is that you set the ID after you find it. So do I need to go back and search the one that I can find and set the ID on it and move on?This is my first year with the 15A boards. I'm used to the 20A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbottomley Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Connect one controllers at a time.By default, the ID is 01.In the HW, use the "change exisiting id" function.Old ID, 01>new ID 02.Only change three controllers and leave the other alone..

Guest wbottomley Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 After changing those ID's, then connect them together and you should see four units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-klb- Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 There is also the "Set New Unit ID" where you don't have to know what the existing ID is. Just have only one controller connected, and tell it what ID to become. (for future reference) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
