Power control is [0] and your relay box would be [1].
But I don't think it is that.
Maybe it is the RANet Add-On that is not good. I had to replace Sacohen when he sent me his stuff to troubleshoot.
I could never find out what the problem was.
I think it was a bad baking of the pcb when it went to the oven for reflow.
I'm assuming that you can't reprogram the RANet module either, right?

Do you mean reflash the firmware? I don't know but I can give it a try. I think I saw some step by step here somewhere, I'll see if I can find it again.

Btw, are you referring to the sender or receiver? I only found instructions for reprogramming the receiver: http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?p=45104#p45104

Correct, the receiver.

The blue led on RSSI lights up when connecting the cable but in Arduino studio I get error uploading (w/ optiboot). See below for full output.

Can you try uploading without the xbee module?
If that doesn't work, we may need to get you another board.

Exactly the same error without the module mounted, but the RSSI LED did not light up.

Yeah, we may need to replace.
I'm going to make a small batch.

I have a RANet wireless dimming module. For the past 2 days the lunar module connected to the wireless dimming module is not working. I think the dimming module is not syncing with the head unit. Can I reprogram the receiver in the wireless dimming module? I had done this to the receiver in the wireless relay box earlier when there were syncing problems.

I get the exact same error when I try to reprogram the receiver on the dimming module. I also get the same error without the xbee module installed. The RSSI LED lights up for a fraction of a second when the code uploads before it fails.
