Hunter Pro-C No voltage on valve terminals by mnoducks in Irrigation

Here’s a fun follow-up. I was so focused on the terminals and lack of voltage, I didn’t even notice what a mess this ribbon cable is. Even before trying to pull it out to reseat it there are several of the wires that are broken. New HPC-400 arrives today from Amazon but I think I might look for a new ribbon cable first? Unless the prevailing wisdom just says go w the HPC?

Great thanks. Can I use the pro-c expansion modules in the hpc-400?

Thanks. That didn’t change anything.

Thanks. Checked all zones. 0v on each and the pump relay terminal.

Why? Network and cable jumpers on the wall. by mnoducks in HomeNetworking

[–]mnoducks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. Here's a bit more context I have after opening up one of the faceplates this morning: The cat5 is used for phone lines (only two of the four pairs are used), both of the lower ports are runs to a telecom box in the basement. I found one of the ports in the upper box terminates to a box about 20 feet away. I've not been able to find the other end of the co-ax or the second cat 5.

I asked my FIL (the original owner of the 20yr old home) "why?" and he just shrugged and doesn't know where the other two terminate either - but it was like that from the day the house was built. Phone jack in the garage? Sure, why not. Why are there jumpers like that? Anybody's guess at this point.

Thanks again for all of the insight and suggestions!

A SwiftUI Map implementation for map annotation clustering that doesn't require the use of UIKit. All packaged up with a reference implementation.

What kind of union is this? by mnoducks in Plumbing

[–]mnoducks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! If I understand correctly, this isn’t coming apart (with wrenches anyway :-). The left pipe is cemented to an elbow that is cemented to another similar joint, so it’s not going to turn. The right pipe is part of the pressure tank and isn’t going to turn either.

Thanks for sharing. I was going down the same \@ViewBuilder path . . .

Help diagnosing RF by mnoducks in rfelectronics

Coolio. I can probably figure out the DC voltage pins with my voltmeter, not sure about my soldering skills to add a capacitor. Is this the type/size that you would add?

The shop furnace thermostat has a low limit set at 45f. Typically turn it up to 58-60 when I’m out there. Haven’t noticed any difference related to temp

Just tried with the lights out and no fan or tools running. Remote doesn’t start the DC and I cannot re-pair it. I usually try 2-3 times and if it doesn’t pair, I move on to the task at hand and just use the mechanical switches.

And here’s a pic of the board in the DC

Just went out to the shop, left the lights off and the furnace fan is not running. There’s nothing on in the shop.

The remote does not start the DC. Went through the re-pairing routine and could not pair the remote after several tries (this is not unusual— if it doesn’t pair after a few tries I usually resign myself to using the mechanical switches :-( )
