I can always add a small BCS reset switch if need be, but mine tends to run for months at s time. What threw me off is the 5...

Re: BCS-462 dumping all programming

Update:

Brewers Hardware hooked me up with a board with no I2C working for a fair price. I'll install that next week and I should be back up and working.

Re: Tablet Suggestions

I used the desktop running on a Raspberry Pi 2 with a 27" monitor. It doesn't have all the features I would like, but works very well for my use. I would like to add a touch overlay to the screen at some point, but a $2 mouse works just fine, even with Brew gloves on. I posted a picture of my d...

Re: BCS-462 dumping all programming

I reloaded 4.0.0. Still all tbe PWM outs 0-5 are not functioning. Can I send it in for a evaluation?

Re: BCS-462 dumping all programming

I pulled the board out and inspected, nothing seemed out of sorts and the reset button still has a definite click so mI assume its OK. Like I said, its partially working.

I'll reload the firmware. Currently using 4.0.1 build 84a28e7
