Insert idiot comment
your having the same issues too? my two I/O are working simutaneously and are about 1 foot apart. this is my setup
my ballasts are hooked up to a DC4 that is controlled by my aquacontroller jr so that if my tank goes up a certain temperature it will turn off one I/O. if it goes above another temperature it will turn off the second I/O. i know the DC4 has some noise filters in there because when i had a icecap 660 and dual galaxy ballasts it wouldnt communicate properly with the acjr; after the dc4 it solved the problem. so maybe its a noise issue with the ballasts hooking up to the same outlet?
i bought a cheap bluetooth for 8 buck s at RE PC.
it came with a driver disk but i had to download the new driver online.
is your driver for your bluetooths updated?
i paired and connected with each I/O separately. noting that i would only power one I/O at a time. one will be com port 9 and the other would be com port 8.
i would first connect the bluetooth to the first I/O then open the pac sun program.
after finishing programming, i would exit out of the pac sun program and then disconnect from the I/O with the bluetooth. then i would turn off that light and proceed to the next light. i would power on the second I/O unit and once done programming i would exit through the pac sun program and then disconnect my bluetooth. then i turn on my other I/O that has been programmed.
i staggered my timing so one I/O will turn on a half hour later after the first I/O.
mine have been working great so far. hopefully this helps
See I did my programming the exact same way. Both units have been plugged into seperate outlets from the very beginning. I have tried multiple bluetooth dongles with the same result. I am a pretty tech savvy guy and I have all the latest drivers and computer systems to boot. Simply put, we shouls not be having so many problems. These issues should have been resolved at PacSun during their quality testing.
