Well - it works and is very stable - even if it older versions ...

I deduct from the many smilies in your post that a upgrade would be advisable ;=)

I will consider it - when this power fail problem is solved (one problem at the time)

I have not tried that excat combination ... but

I have hook up the serial port of the main unit to the radio RRC (DB9) via RRC Com2 mode 4 9600,8,1,N (same setting on com2 control site)

At control site im using a microHam (USB->Serial interface) to map to a serial port at my computer.

I can then start any program to communicate with the radio at the control site vis the cat interface.

Visited remote site location today. Replacement PSU was dead
so the radio was actually OFF :=)

I have to investigate further why this happens !  no fuses are burned (12v/25A) primary/secondary side on PSU - but very strange two PSU died in one week.

I made some more tests ... somehow it always ends up with both RRC connected - and every things looks ok - except that the radio RRC reports radio is OFF and the the control RRC reports radio is ON.

Front panel does not respond to further 'power off' commands and my guess is that the control RRC ignores this command since it thinks the radio is ON ?

How come that this difference in radio status occurs ...?

Cant see those on the control side..

Perhaps this is network related somehow ?

Control side (up and running now after 20 minutes restart &on/off):

radio is now:

With the PSU constant on ... im still having trouble with the dead front panel when pressing the power on button.

I end up with this status

Control status:
Name   Value
Control panel   ON
Radio   ON
SIP status   Connected/transfering
Last SIP error   None

Radio status:
Name   Value
Radio   OFF
Connection status   OK
SIP status   Connected/transfering
Last SIP error   None
RTP status   Excellent(59)
UDP cmd status   OK(44)

after this pressing power on seems to be ignored.

Hi

Ok, thanks for the quick reply ! i set it to on/off and manuelly controls the control signal.

Well ... i have been lucky then :=) been working that way for a while now.

Its a nice failsafe to have the PSU cutting power if you lose the connection in the middle of a transmission ...

What happens to PTT if connection fails in the middle of a transmission =?=

Hi

I am having the same startup problem as described in the thread:
http://www.remoterig.com/forum/index.php?topic=1198.0;prev_next=prev#new

-- > except I have a maximum of 20mS latency time to radio site (normally 12 mS).

My setup have been working fine for a long time until a few days ago when one of the Power supplies failed. I replaced it with a similar sized PSU (slightly different design).

My Radio-RRC OUT1 MODE=Connect is wired to a 240V relay that switches on the PSU's when connected to the control site

When the power switch on the front panel is pressed there's a short beed (normal); PSU goes on on remote site - but front panel is still dead. both's RRC's shows connected.  I can even see "PTT status" is changed at radio site when i press mic PTT.

After a couple of restarts of both RRC and manually changing PSU OUT1 MODE=on/off ect the panels goes on (sometimes many tries ... seems random)

How is this startup sequence timed in the RRC communication ? is there a build in timeout. I'm thing that either sites is missing a "on" command on the serial radio/panel connection ?

Could it bee that the replacement PSU has a slightly longer startup time and that in turn causes a extra delay in this sequence ?

Epilog

After some error/fault finding - it turned out that one of the sensors didnt work. Not sure excately why i get the invalid device error with this one ? The soldering and wireing is correct and there are no short circuits detected.

Once the faulty one was removed, there was no problem detecting multiple sensores in one scan.

im using this config:
(M)---(S)---(S)---(S)---(S)

4 identical type Devices (4x temp sensor).

I guess i can put connectors on it but nice to know that WS is capable of scanning more than one new device connect at the time.

Easyer said than done  They are all soldered directly onto a single cable - so not so easy to take a part again ...

The error message im getting - what does it mean ?

Hi

According to the product specs :
http://www.remoterig.com/wp/?page_id=166

Options    :
Inputs for up to 25 temperature sensors (single wire bus DS18B20)
2 x Digital Inputs

I read this as the web switch can handle up to 25 DS18B20 on a single wire.
Perhaps someone from Microbit can veryfy this ?

Hi

I put together 4 temp sensores on 1-wire connected to BUS-A.

When scanning for new devices i get a error message:  Invalid 1-wire code found!

how can i fix this ?

PS: When going back to my "old" setup with one temperature sensor... theres no problem the device gets registered and can measure the temperature.
