mdesmarais, Which battery do you have in the Roomba? Our Roomba has the APS battery and can do at least two rooms that are 15X15. If you are using the stock battery, I suggest that you upgrade to the APS battery. Just a thought. Regards, TCIII

Hi all, I believe that you could use a dual NE555 (NE556) where one oscillator would modulate the other oscillator. The NE556 goes for around $.50. This would eliminate the need for the driver transistor as the NE555 has its own output transistor capable of carrying the necessary current to...

Photon, I bought my Ge Caddx N8e from Worthington Distribution and have integrated it into my JDS Stargate with no problems. The manual that came with my Caddx was very informative and had reasonable depth. I did have to read several section a number of times to fully understand the...

Hi all, After doing a little research on the ATI website, it turns out that the newer versions of Catalyst, unlike the older versions (2yrs back), will not recognize a secondary monitor that is hooked up via the component cables from my X1650X video card and allow the extended desktop function...

Hi DavidL, Very nice overview! I sure could have used it prior to today. I essentially, through trial and error, was able to get DVDLobby on my HTPC PC to play a movie on my HTPC PC from one of my unRaid servers using TheaterTek. I am presently using the 15" LCD VGA monitor, but my next move...

DavidL, I also have MainLobby/DVDLobby installed on my HTPC and am presently working on integrating TheaterTek into DVDLobby. I have installed my DVDProfiler XML database into my MLS and am now working on setting up the path to each movie on my unRaid server in each movie's FILE field. I...

Hi all, I know that there is a way to have my TheaterTek s/w DVD player direct the movie I want to play to my secondary monitor (RPTV) even though the application/Windows is being displayed on the primary monitor (15" LCD) Until the more recent versions of the Catalyst Control panel, I was...

acheslow, I recently installed a TR16 and had no problems. I would say that the power to the WDU is correct as you have power to the back light, but you might have reversed the clock and data lines at either the WDU or the controller. I would check to make sure that the clock and data lines...

forgets, I have the single zone version of the zc4 and it does have an RS-485 port that communicates with my SG RS-485 hub. The TR-16 thermostat communicates with the controller over four wires: power, ground, clock, and data. If you use a four zone controller, then you must install a motor...

Hi all HS and the SG-IP have been running in the SG Com 2 configuration for almost 24 hours and the Events and Log pages are being updated regularly from the SG. I did note that the WebXpander did not update the time automatically at 7:30pm yesterday since I went to this new Com port...

Hi all, After receiving some very helpful responses (Mark S., Uncle Michael, RJ) on the HS JDS plug-in subforum, I performed the following: Disconnected my RC Systems TTS board from the SG Com 2 and followed the instructions in the JDS plug-in help file to install the JDS plug-in on the SG-IP...

upstatmike, It had been running for at least five hours before I tried to access the SG-IP through the WebX webpage interface and the HomeRunner application running on my tablet pcs. HomeSeer was communicating just fine with the SG-IP over the Com 1 serial port which I had hooked into the WebX...

upstatemike, I have had my JDS Stargate SG-IP for about a year and have been very happy with it, but have determined that interfacing it to HomeSeer would very advantageous. However, I ran into an interesting problem when trying to use HomeSeer and the JDS Stargate plug-in with my Stargate...

WayneW, I believe that the NEC allows tape bands on wires to indicate what the color "should have been" when the specific color required is not available. Regards, TCIII

Rupp, Thanks for pointing us CheapRFID. Just ordered one receiver/case, two 8m xmitters/cases and one 40m xmitter/case to play with. Just what I was looking for to identify myself and the wife when we pull into the drive way. Regards, TCIII
