Title: SSC works then just goes white
Post by: gatorengineer on December 15, 2013, 06:18:42 pm

I'm testing my SSC. I have 3 other SSC on same hub and everything works fine. I've programmed all the SSC with the same address as I'm so far behind that I'm just throwing stuff up.

I start using the xTester using A B C All. After it hits all, 3 of the strings keep doing what they are suppose to. One just stays all white. I flashed it, reprogrammed it and it still does the same thing. Any thoughts?

If you are using xtester you are at least a year out of date.  Download the latest version from here:

You did not say what version of SSC, but if you have a version with test firmware available you should load that just to make sure your hardware is functional.

I would try swapping cables of SSCs.  If I've learned anything of 2 years of SS gear when things go wrong it is usually something basic.  Bad cable, bad connector.  Maybe you have too long of a run to first node.  That can also cause a hang.  From memory 4-6' V1-3 and 8-12' V4.

V2 was more like 2' if using a waterproof connector.
