jimswinder Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 have you tried switching controllers..to help narrow down the problem (controller vs cable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Are you sure that the controller in your 8th position has an ID defined?Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Easterlin Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Cables are goodChuckDo you mean the small white wheels on the controller itself. If so i am 99.99% they are correct. Looking at them they read 0 & 8 also counting clicks as I turn them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Easterlin Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 JimWhen you said switch controllers were you just talking about the cat 5 or switching all the plugs between two controllersBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswinder Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I meant either switching the cat cable and/or actually switching controller 7 with controller 8or I guess you could just switch ID's...change #7 to #8 and #8 to #7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Easterlin Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 JimYou are the hero of the day. I switched controler 8 to 7 and 7 to 8. Since these controlled my arches it will be fairly easy to re-number.thanks againBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswinder Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 so what happened when you switched??do they both now work?If so..I would wonder why???If they ARE both working, I would change the ID's back to there original configurations and see what happens. If they STILL both work, then you won't have to change anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 If they both work when you changed address on the controllers. Then rotate the dials a few turns each way and then set them. Keep in mind that the switches are only read when the controller is powered up. So if you change the address with power on, the unit will keep it's old address until you unplug and replug.Oh I guess I should mention that Dan has stated this solution to switches not working correctly.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Easterlin Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 I tried switching back two diffrent times. But the HWU would not see the 8th controller in the 8th position. Maybe bad pod on the controller. They are both working and looking great. Light up night tonight all the neighbors are coming for a party.Again thanks, I was under the gun..Bill EasterlinLower Burrell Pa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
