Hello Chris, Still, I'm a lot better with the hardware. Your explanation may have given a clue. I did check, but am not able to press the button the correct...
Is anyone building any more of these smartsockets for B-7971, or have 4 to 6 of them that would like to sell? If so, let me know and I would be happy to pay...
Hello Chris, IT WORKS !!! First thing I did was set the program-word 1 to the setting you mentioned. When I started the boards, there was a reaction to the...
