So I bought a Apex a while back and have loved it, not sure how I lived without one now. Zero problems whatsoever. I decided to buy an additional EB8 and an EB4 to have enough outlets for everything.
And now the troubles begin.. when I added the 2nd EB8 it continuesly reboots. It lags out the controller reeeeeally bad as well. Accessing it through the PC is slower then AOL 1.0 on a rotary phone modem. The temputure and ph go bezerk and reads 154 degrees and like 14ish ph.
After a few attempts I managed to get the software version on the eb8 up to 009. I also updated the controller to the latest firmware. Interestingly enough when you disconnect that EB8 the temp/ph return to normal and the controller access works as usual. Changing the bus locations around seemed to help at first, but eventually the EB8 started rebooting again and sometimes the controller itself would reboot. I read online that possibly a misconfigured outlet/program might be causing a loop and tying up the process causing the really bad lag. I finally got ****ed off and unplugged the new EB8 and went to bed. The next evening I plugged it for S&G and to my surprise it worked perfectly. I did a quick config on the outlet names and some very basic setup and all seemed to work well.
So then I dug out the trusty new EB4 and plugged it in... It started a rebooting loop itself as well as the 2nd EB8, and the controller access lag started again. Manged to update the EB4 software to 009 eventually but it kept doing the same thing the EB8 was doing the night before. So I unplugged it all and went to bed. Both EB8's ran fine all night long. This morning I plugged in the EB4 and it went back to rebooting both again. :mad2:
Any suggestions?
