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?

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?

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.

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.

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?

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?

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)

That's very weird indeed.
What happens if you plug the salinity and the dimming, leaving the wifi disconnected?

Nevermind... I missed the last sentence.
What happens if you plug all 3 expansion modules without the wifi?

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.

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 :(

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.
