I havent hooked up the second controller yet but i will have it as ID # 5 .

    Ive been running my show through the sequencer not the scheduler. The LED does the same thing as yours.  Blinks until i send the show and then is remains solid til its over, back to blinking and all my lights come on.

What kind of lights do you have attached to your ACx16? Are they LEDs or incandescents? What do you have connected?

Though it hasn't happened to me (yet), some people have had trouble with very low power lights (like LEDs) staying ON when there is no signal. If that sounds like your situation, know that D-Light is working on a Firmware fix to the "phantom power" phenomenon where the TRIACs never completely turn off.

Good News!

If you have updated both controllers with new firmware, be sure you reset your ID numbers back to their old values! They got reset back to #2 by the firmware updater.

Well i was going to put together the other controller tonight but, i stopped at Ace hardware to get some thermal grease and the dude told me that it was the same thing as dielectric grease but after further investigating sounds like they are nothing alike. CensoredSo maybe tomorrow i will get it together providing i find some grease.
