DC jacks unresponsive
#1
I am running into a very similar problem to '10v PWM/Analog configuration & Testing' where I have all of the same settings but no power is getting to any of my DC pins .

I have successfully wired in two thermal sensors and a Ph Sensor (not calibrated yet)

I am running this on a Raspberry Pi4 / reef-pi-4.1 / Robo Tank Rev E

Code:
i2cdetect -y 1
    0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
00:          -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
40: 40 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- 63 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: 70 -- -- -- -- -- -- --


Everything looks like it should be working. I must have missed a step.
The Google Docs manuals were not available, are there other instructions I should be using?

Hi, that's disappointing, sorry for the trouble. I assume you are getting nothing on the LED port either?

Can you try the following, maybe we get lucky.

Type the following command in the Pi terminal window.

i2cset -y 1 0x40 0x0 0x0

Then

i2cset -y 1 0x40 0x0 0x1

After that unplug power from controller, power back up and see if it works. If nothing send me an email.

I checked the Google manuals, they seem to work, if it still isn't could you post the link you are trying?

Disregard. It seems to be working on DC4. Had to add it as an output.

Glad it's working, DC1 - DC3 also require a jumper to be added to the backup float switch before they will work.

Roger that. Since I only need a single 12V output, I think just using DC4 is easy enough.

I am sure once I get into this more, I'll be using all the ports. I plan on setting up a teensy as a slave to handle the LED strips for status updates, since I have a bunch of experience with the teensy already.
