LOL...Well.....we got everything just about re-done and the controller is close to being hooked up
WISH ME LUCK.....the programming is my department
Good luck. My controller just came in the mail today. So I'll probably coming to you for help before long.

No it didn't come with a paper manual but I've read through the online manual a few times. I've got it plugged in here and it seems rather simple. You hit the menu button to skim through the various settings for each channel. You hit the select to select when you find a channel that you want to adjust. And simply adjust it by using the + and - buttons.

i am sorry about this. it should have been wire the dimming circuits and done.
makes no sense why the time isn't running.

NO WORRIES....these things happen...especially to me....BAHAHAHA
Everything is back as it was before we started
only thing is it looks liek 2 blue lights are going out.....kinda like the 1st one did.....HMMMMM....will have to wait and see
I also think that since we reworked this whole set up....we might just use the controller for the moonlights only....this way the P driver you have will be hooked up with the controller and we won't have to mess with anything else

thats a waste if you just use it for moonlights. its meant to ramp up and down your main whites and blues.

yea... it should have been cake but the stupid timer is not counting. i am hoping its a stupid programming fix not a shipping/broken issue. i will flip out and kill usps. j/k sorry frustrated.

Dunno if this helps I got it from the PDF manual from the trouble shooting section. Sounds like you just have to reset the time.
4) The clock has stopped ticking.
a. Go to “Set Time: Hrs” and “Set Time: Mins”, and adjust accordingly. It should
automatically reset itself and work again.

hahahah yes sir we tried that. we even uplugged everything and tried that. tried wiggling the lcd to see if that worked etc.
its really something very simple. meowzer understands how the programming of time and fade etc on the controller. she picked it up right away.
just the darn timer won't count time.
btw i had to upload a new arduino sketch to work with the hlg drivers. i had to do the same to mine. yes the eln and hlg use same 10vdc pwm signal but the hlg is the reverse polarity.
so in the software to run the controller i just switched 4 statement values to get the correct output of the controller.

you need a USB -BUB II
p/n 556- atmega328-PU from www.mouser.com
and the usb to mini usb 5 pin.
i have my new rewritten sketch for the hlg. if you need it.

Yeah I know it is meant to do all the fading....we were going to have you program the channels for the whites and blues too
I think after yesterday Danny was just frustrated ....LOL....
I will get it in the mail to you tomorrow, and then pm you exactly how we want it set up...the only thing is I can not tell you the percentage that the lights are on......SO we will have to work on that

BAHAHAHA.....I only wish that were possible....
I love where I live.....BUT sometimes I hate the fact that I am soooo far from everything
OH YEAH....Yesterday after we re-hung the lights I had commented that 2 blues looked dull......B UT this morning they seem back to normal.....
