Whether the repair will be under warranty we are able to assess only after a technical expertise in our office.
In my opinion – from what you write it will turn out that you have made a short circuit in the electrical system – which caused burning of the PCB tracks. But of course, I can’t be sure. This type of damage is not covered by the warranty.
An option is to order new PCBs – but replacing them is difficult, and we do not recommend this for people who do not have much experience in electronics. It may also turn out that other components are damaged and replacing the boards will not help.
Hello all,
I received my box’s back after you determined that everything was correct on them. In other Words, I made a wrong setup, or wrong connection at my personal Dome build.
I started today to put both boxes back to place in the Dome today.
Before I put power ON, let me ask what could be a stupid question:
Is the box supposed to start up just by switching it On, I mean, at this moment, without any Computer connected to the Box?
Is the screen supposed to come alive with no Computer connected to it?
Or do I need to connect a computer by LAN or USB in order to get a proper startup?
Sorry for this question. But I was reading on and on your documentation, and there is nothing about this.
I don’t know if the self-contained Arduino card is doing the job, or is a PC required in order to fire up everything..
Thanks
Good evening
First of all, please ignore my previous message dated 15 January, I managed to finally start my control boxes, great news.
The Master box is connected, and the rotation motor is behaving the correct way. The Box is showing connected on the computer. So half of the Dome is working fine 👍
But I have a problem with the Shutter box, I have no response from it.
On the shutter Box itself, I have two red LED lit, one on the right side of the box (no marking or label to say what it means), and one on the front panel for marked „Rain sensor”.
No response when selecting „Open”.
On the Master Box display, the shutter is showing „Closed”, which is correct. („Close actuator” in close position on the shutter)
AC power is delivered to the shutter Box.
Any idea ?
And by the way, the Slave box shows „Disconnected” in the Arduino Test App.
