Hello there
I have a problem to use my controller
Indeed, when I connect the daylight and actinic light only daylight lights.
I must move the communication cable that comes on the relay box for the actinic light illuminates.
it looks like a false contact,
on the menu should appear
1.Feeding
2.Water Change
3.Lights
4.Temps
5.Timeouts
6.Setup
7.Version
8.Exit
I do not see 3.the light menu
how do I correct this
Regards
olivier

The lights menu will only show up on the preloaded code.
You can get replacement cables on the webstore.

The FTDI driver.
Do you have any unrecognized device showing in your device manager (I don't know the exact name for MacOSX).
If your computer doesn't recognize the cable and install the device driver correctly, it won't show in the list.
Did you try a different USB port, maybe?
