I really have never had these boards functioning in my environment so that they have been reliable.  For mission critical applications I am beginning to think I need something better.  Although a bit more pricey, I have some experience with Ubiquiti mFi line of products and for a little more...

I had the code lost after the update.   Again, this was to the best of my knowledge with the most current firmware.

cai, i had upgraded per your recommendation to Firmware 03.02.18b5

I have tested these boards with many different temp sensor cable configurations at my desk, with no resistors and no capacitors and they work great with very long cable lengths.  However when I bring the same length cable with everything else identical into the environment I had intended it for...

Ok, temp sensors are still very reliable, but I did lose the PLC program on one of my two running boards after about two weeks running strong.  Any Ideas what is causing this?  Suggestions and/or remedies?

Ross,   I now have both boards in service with zero failure!  Thanks again!  I only have one sensor per board, but I am thinking when I add additional sensors, relocate the resistor and cap to the new end of the line? (sensor furthest from board)  Also, should I just tie the shield wire through...

Ok so I got one board working great, with the temp sensor 7994 times more "ok" than not.  That was with a 4.7k ohm resistor between +5v to data at the sensor end of the cable, and a 1uF tantalum from ground to +5v at the board end of the cable.   Copying this configuration on a second board has...

Ross,   I tried one config with data and ground on the same pair, 5v on a single from another pair.  The config that seemed to be a bit more reliable was to use 5v and data on one pair with ground on a single from another pair.  Humidity and temp grounds are using the same pair, one conductor...

Hello All,   I finally got my boards reinstalled after sending them in for FW upgrade to 03.02.17g and am still battling intermitant temp sensor failures.  I do not see the boards hanging as often anymore, but did have one where the PLC code editor was reset somehow to show the default message...

Ok I have some extra boards I could send back that have never been used. I guess I bought them prematurely:( It will be great to have the bootloader. Thanks Tom, I will order up some buck converters from china and try that as well when they arrive. Does it sound like these things will...

I have v03.02.17 running on the board I have been fighting with.  Any particularly good regulator you could recommend, or just a radioshack cheepo?  I am using a switchable LED power supply that I have dialed down to 11 volts.  This supply is centrally located and is feeding wc8 in question via...

I am having issues with what I believe to be noise on the powerline, which is causing wc8 to hang for a while, then it will run but one wire temp sensors will alternate between ok and fail, with it very difficult to get more than one rom code to register.  In the environment there are many noise...

Just got some of these boards.  What will I need to do to use some gypsum plug moisture sensors? Dry and at 5v input, i get around 1.8v output.

Longer delay?  It takes the board i'm using about 8 seconds to normalize after boot.  

  I am also interested in a few of these boards.   Nick
