What do the different coloured flashes of the middle base LED mean?
Blue is "Bluetooth command received" I know but I've seen green flashing too, just after levitating, usually.
Are there other posible states?

Cheers,
Robin.

Hi Tony,
my relay (kit assembled by me) has a distinct list to one side. I'd say one end is about 10 mm closer to the base than the other, where should I be looking to fix this?

Cheers,
Robin.

Alas it seems that cathode remapping doesn't survive a power cycle... This would be *extremely* handy IMHO ... do you have EEPROM space in either of the pics to save this?

Cheers,
Robin.

I have a properly mapped clock now

For the benefit of any other IN-8-2 kit builders that may follow, the magic incantation is:

0x13$PSU,8,07,12,34,56,89,,08***

Ah, thanks Tony, that expains it, I'll have a try when I get back from work. Also, TBH, the entire protocol explanation needs some filling in and consistency fixing IMHO... Some things I've guessed or found by experimenting that aren't really explicit in the documentation: You'll need a terminal pro...

Hi Tony, I've built my relay with IN-8-2 tubes and am having trouble getting the cathode mapping right, either I don't understand the command properly or I've got them plugged in wrong, or both! Here's whats happening: First I send $13$$PSU,8,12,34,56,78,90,,08*** to make sure I'm starting with a ma...

HI Tony,
you need to circle R19 on the second article on lev base PCB assembly. If it gets missed out then it looks like the power coil doesn't get driven.

Cheers,
Robin.

This should help: http://www.lasermad.co.uk/instructions/TimeFlies/RelayIN14/RelayPCBx.jpg Yep, much clearer, thanks... Might I suggest an edit to the original text... The HV rail seems to run along *above* the transistors and I was taking "between" to mean "through the middle of&quo...

Now a modification before going any further. There's a track connecting the HV capactiros to the main HV rail running between the MMBTA92 transistors here: It's under the resistor in the picture but you can see where the PCB has been cut. Cut through this track as it's now connected to the HV suppl...

That'll be bag 4 ... or it was in my kit
