Ok, I have tried two different computers now and Aurora Scheduler keeps dropping some of networks.   I have been using 1.041.  The first computer is Vista 64 bit and the second computer is Windows 7.  I am running 3 different networks.  After I go back to see what has happened after it drops a network, the comm port is locked up.  Any ideas as to what is going on?  Thanks.

Is this in the sequencer or the scheduler?
Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights.

That sounds similar, but my problem is with the scheduler and the dropping of one or more networks is random.  It does not drop the same network every time.  Although most of the time is is the same one.  I had problems with this the first night, and then it ran fine for two nights and last night it started dropping again.  Nothing has changed in my setup.

Does unplugging/replugging the USB adapter (disconnected for 5 seconds or so) "unlock" the locked up COM port?

Yes it usually does.  Sometimes I have to close the scheduler and unplug the USB adapters then plug them back in and restart the scheduler to get everything working again.

Are your controllers "winking" between sequences (LED on the controller briefly blinks)?

During my initial testing they were.  I have not been able to look at them since I put them outside.

Ok, you are definately losing lock between sequences then. 
 
1.0.69 partially corrected a bug with the heartbeat lock between sequences experienced by some.  Since you are losing lock between sequences, you should upgrade.  Remember to fully uninstall from add/remove programs, reboot, perform the 1.0.69 install, then reboot again before using Aurora.

Ok I will try that tonight.  Thanks for your help.

I tried the update to the newest version of Aurora and I am still having issues with dropped networks.  What should I look at now?  It is dropping the networks in the middle of sequences.  It is still random.
