Denford Triac Carousel ATC

[cnckeith]

I'm back on this machine to finish off the install as Ive needed to get the plates made and installed for the motor mounts.

Some really odd issues.

MPG is on, nothing on the screen.

The ATC macro doesnt work. Even running something like M94 /65 to switch on an output doesnt work (in the macro or via MDI). *NEVERMIND* - fixed, back to the OUTPUT definitions ....

However it looks like the MPG has died. Has anyone seen one where the screen illuminates however there is no text and it doesnt respond to any buttons etc?

very rare for the mpg to die, most likely you lost the USB connection on the PC.
replace the batteries with fresh alkaline AA.
power off, move the USB plug to a usb port that connects to the pc motherboard and reboot.

post photos of the mpg screen if you are still having issues.

Will do. Ive got a vid of it not working. Ive asked the person that bought the kit to raise a support ticket.

Ill try the suggestions however in the meanwhile.

MPG working. Oddly one of the 2 Duracells went bad. So enough for backlight but nothing else. Really strange, cell was down to 0.9V.

Thanks
