Hi Terry,
I don't think I've seen that exact behavior in one of our controllers--but if I
had to guess it sounds like the main controller is OK and then either the CF
controller is malfunctioning or they fail to communicate with each other. I do
not have any troubleshooting tips other than the usual advice about checking
all parts of the system, which should be easy for you since you have 2...we
have seen cards and cables fail, so you might wish to swap those. Otherwise
just make sure the reprogramming was done correctly and the fuses, etc.
Out of curiosity--why not just use one controller for the 72 panel display?
Cheers,
MR
p.s. we are nearly ready to launch the display controller 2.0 that is much,
much better on nearly all fronts. I am working on making these easy for people
to get and will send out more info to the mailing list soon.

Subject: [panels] Controller not responding
Greetings all,
I am a postdoc with Noah Cowan and Eric Fortune. We at one point had a working
arena using two controllers for 72 panels. Currently one of the controllers
will not boot properly. When I power up the bad controller the first green LED
lights, but the second does not go through the normal bootup blinking. When I
attach the panels to the controller they display addresses, but do not go
through their boot sequence either. I reprogrammed the main and CF chips to no
avail. Any ideas as to what the problem might be or troubleshooting tips?
Regards,
Terry
