Re: Communication error

I'll check that -- although I'm wondering why the light wasn't blinking. That, however, may have been a loose connection.

Maybe something shifted and hit both power cables at once, causing this error.

Thank you,
Ryan Van Why.

EDIT1:
Well, our connections from the battery to the power distribution board were loose. Now that we've tightened them, it seems to work (out testing isn't extensive, however.)

We are getting a status light blink-display when enabled. Normally, when enabled, the light should be continuously on. Instead, we are getting a long-on, then short-off blink code, like:
Code:
 on - off - on - off - on
long-short-long-short-long
Anyone know off the top of their head what this means? I will look for it later, if not.

Thank you.
