Re: i made a boo boo
i think im having a similar issue to war pigs with the screen going white...
if just the salinty exp is into the usb hub its fine but when one of the other two expansions are on there its does the white screen....
as far as moving the head unit i have a 30wx18d stand....right now i have the relay box along with exp hub and relays on the inside right wall off the stand with my head unit on the door that opens up.
the best i could do to spac everything out would be relay box on one side expansions on the other and head unit on the door?
im wondering if the issue is related to the hub itself?

Re: i made a boo boo
Yes, it is similar.
The reason I was asking which libs you were using is because the unit is supposed to reboot.
Is your unit rebooting too or just stay stuck on white screen?

Re: i made a boo boo
if i unplug the vga from head unit it does not reboot
if i un plug the power to everything it does reboot

Re: i made a boo boo
I'm talking about reboot by itself.
Warpigs unit is rebooting by itself constantly, which indicates to me that he's on 1.0.3. Prior to 1.0.3, the unit would just stay on the white screen, which seems like what your unit is doing.

Re: i made a boo boo
Ok I re hooked up wii not an hour later it started doing it I does look like its constantly rebooting the communication light blinks the screen is white then off and it just continues to do this. I unplugged wifi from head unit it continued to do it I unplugged the hub from relay box and everything went back to normal I recorded it on my phone while I did it I just can't get it to upload here if you want me to email you the video just give me your email
Re: i made a boo boo
That's interesting that it works without the wifi.
Let's try this for now while I work on the libraries changes I want to make... Keep the system running without the wifi and keep me posted.

Re: i made a boo boo
Any update on a fix with wifi unhooked its still running
Re: i made a boo boo
Humm. Thanks for troubleshooting.
So, at this point, you have all expansion modules connected and working fine, right?
Did the wifi work fine when it was connected?

Re: i made a boo boo
any update for me... i havent hooked up rf because i would be able to control my mp10w without wifi and if i hook wifi module in with 30 mins its offline and my tank is going crazy
Re: i made a boo boo
So, this problem only happens when both wifi and RF are connected at the same time?
If either is connected without the other, everything works?

Re: i made a boo boo
it happens if i have more than to addons plugged into to usb hub and wifi is trying to connect
first i had usb with salinty and wifi everything was fine
then i added th rf and salinity with wifi it would go crazy i assumed it was the rf module so just left it disconnect
then i did a full spectrum led build so had salinity, dimming, and wifi and it goes ccrazy
i disconnect wifi and it works as it supposed to (even though i dont have everything hooked up as i dont trust it yet)

Re: i made a boo boo
That's very weird indeed.
What happens if you plug the salinity and the dimming, leaving the wifi disconnected?

Re: i made a boo boo
Nevermind... I missed the last sentence.
What happens if you plug all 3 expansion modules without the wifi?

Re: i made a boo boo
Food for thought... Sounds like he is having a similar issue to mine. It seems as if his RF module is tripping him up like my IO module is tripping me up. For once I would like to go on the record and say I DONT think the wifi module itself is at blame for the rebooting, reason is I am not using a wifi module any longer. I have been using my Wiznet Ethernet Frankenstein (in place of the wifi) and mine seems to reboot with my IO module connected. On another note Roberto (knock on wood) that other module you sent me to try in place of my IO module has not caused a rebooting frenzy yet and it has been running for at least a week or two. I still need to change my code and terminate my float switches but I wanted to put it on the I2C bus for a while to be sure it was going to play nice with others first. Seems ok so far.

Re: i made a boo boo
war pig thats what i thought when i first got the rf module thats why i just disconnected it and said no biggie but when i got the dimming expansion and it did the same thing i ruled it down to the wifi i still need to buy the cable to hook up the rf module i will make that happen......

Re: i made a boo boo
ok i have the rf module on (not 100% sure its connected to the mp10), but its plugged into the hub and lit up yellow
Re: i made a boo boo
Ok, keep me posted of what will happen. I'm taking that the wifi attachment is disconnected, right?

Re: i made a boo boo
ok well its still connected and relays are still working the correct way(still not alot hooked up to it.
with the rf it has a green light on it which is (im pretty sure) how i programed it on the wizard.
if i change the mode on the mp10 controller the light on the ra module stays the same is that correct
and yes the wifi module is still disconnected

Re: i made a boo boo
So, we can conclude that everything is fine except when you plug the wifi.
Maybe we ought to try another wifi attachment.
PM me for RMA and we can exchange that one.
