SCN5 ilk damage workaround (for latest gen controllers)

    Got some advice for a workaround from Mirai support:

    The latest generation of SCN5 controllers have 3 IO modes which can be selected via the latest Dyadic PCtool software.
    In Air Mode 1 the ILK input has no function (releases the actuator blocking).

    If TBVST is running while connected to a SCN5, we need to check the Setup screen to see if the option to select different PIO modes appears.
    If the option does not appear the controller is too old.
    This feature is not backward compatible.
    Good luck!

    If you need the tool, PM me.


    Regards
    Christian

    1. SN9B004719EG
    2. SN9B004620EG

    I managed to switch them to Air Mode 1 ! - and after that: detect in Force-Profiler.

    Weird, didnt know that. I cant imagine the purpose :?

    @Maurilio
    Your serial numbers are higher than Skaut69', so the tool should work.

    Hi guys,
    Thanks all for the support. The problem was on the rs485 based on chip PL2303 only support full duplex. Changing the rs485 and reprogram the actuators on the air mode1. Works perfectly.
    I have dump the left and right firmware and change to original dyadic.
    The frex system use only one port to comunicate to left and right actuators. Some one use the same way or one port to each actuator?
