WTB CON2i

[brichter]

I wish we had some kind of technical manual for this con1S.

When's the last time you went poking around in the "Submit a new file" area?

Thanks guys...
kudos to both of you and I wish you guys a very merry xmas.
'll check the "S-A-N-F" section...
The last time I looked...the manual in there was for a CON1...I'll have to take a relook at that manual and see if it had anything useful about the con1S.

The con1 and con1s are the same beast.
The E+ and F are a bit different but I think the functionality is well described.

After re-reading everything I could get my hands on...
I agree that they are the same beasts... ..............but mine doesn't function

As I recall the CON1s is a stand alone version of the CON1 so you can't chain more than one machine to it.

Make sure you got the right cable and try to download immmediately after rebooting the CON1s. You may have to do that to upload to it also.

I tried that several different times with out any success.
I know the serial cable is correctly jumped because I had programmed different messages a week ago with fantastic results.
I put everything aside for a few days to do some other things.
When I came back and tried to do some other message programming, I couldn't talk to the LED4 via the con1S.
This is what's happening:
The instant I connect the 2-pin harness that links the LED4 to the the con1S port, the "C1" pops up- immediately.
The con1S will not communicate with the LED4 at all.
Rebooting the con1S (powering off then back on) only displays "C1" then alternates with "C11".
When I remove the 2-pin harness, I have to reboot the LED4 to get rid of the "C1" code.
"$0.00" is then displayed on the LED4 display panels (1X2").
The very instant I try to re-connect the 2-pin harness from the Led4 to the con1S - the frigging "C1" pops back up.
Because of this persistent "C1" or "C11" codes - I cannot get the con1S to communicate w/the LED4.
It seems like the con1S is causing the "C1" to pop up every time.
That's why I went shopping and bought another con1S from Blueridgeslots -  to see if that's gonna happen again when I connect the 2-pin harness to the LED4.

The con1E (S) V8.0 came in from Blueridgeslots today.
I was apprehensive at first about it because the board looks way different than the con1S.
I hooked it up and voila!       All new messaging worked!!
I have no clue what is wrong with my old con1S controller...
I am sure I must of somehow burned something out because this controller[con1E (s) ]  came with a 9vdc adapter...the other con1S used a 12vdc adapter. 

Anyways, no more "C1"'s or "C11"s

This is the chip that's in it>>>

This is the con1E(S)V8.0 hooked up to a CHAM "1x2" with 2   LED4 displays at the moment...

The CON1S runs on 9V too so you probably did burn something up on it

But at least you're up and running! 

 

[stayouttadabunker]

okay,
 now here's the stupid part...I put the 9V 1A power supply to my old con1S that I thought was burned out??
Guess what...it works

Excellent.
