aquaro 5 controling multi switch

Monday, June 6th 2011, 6:46am

Has any one had success integrating multi switch with the aquaro 5?I have got multi switch with latest software updated but Have been told 2012 doesn’t support it yet via software .Is there a way I can talk to Multi switch directly from the aquaro 5 when connected via slow speed aqua bus.Have been told I can connect it this way and aquaro can just switch on and off outputs no skripting :S

I have managed to see the multi switch in the aquaro 5 menu under power outputs.There is a jumper that designates the aqua bus address ie multi sw 1 or 2 Despite this I cannot see the multi switch for more than a second as it alternates in the menu as multi switch ! and the n Multi switch 2 ready.any help would be most apriciated :S

multi switch and aquaro 5

Friday, June 10th 2011, 10:10am

I have a very frustrating problem I have connected my multi switch as instructed via a y cable on the slow aqua bus port .If I look on the aquaro 5 menu under outputs /power outputsI can see for a brief instance multi switch 1 ready then it disappears for a second and returns .Some times it says multi switch 2 ready and flashes away before I can go into it.I have tried setting the address jumper to open “multi switch !1 “ then closed Multi switch 2 yet it is still confused and just flashes for a instance. :evil: :evil: :cursing: :cursing:

I have the same problem. Can somebody explain what is wrong? Is it bug in aquaero 5 device software. Thanks

So firmware 106 is installed on the mutliswitch?

You can try to use the same power supply wire from the PSU for both devices. If that does not help it is likely that it is a communication problem which might be caused by other components. Shortening the aquabus cable might help.

Multi switch woes

Saturday, June 18th 2011, 6:03am

I am using firmware 1.06 on multi switch and 1012 on Aquaro. I have both aquaro and multi switch coming off same power cable and have made a custom short cable .Have shortened the cable and have even tried to connect power from separate power supply with no computer or attached devices attached .ie power supply feeding aquaro and multi switch stand alone .To eliminate interference or electronic noise.In the power output menu of aquaro I see multi switch 1 ready then it disappears to appear again as multi switch 2 ready and disappears before I can navigate to it.The multi switch works fine on one pc as usb device and accepts scripts via usb.What next? :?:

I have a very similar problem :/

I can't see my multi switch in windows 7 64bit

Under devices and printers i can see aquaero and multi switch usb 1.41 with a caution sgin (triangle with '!')

If I click under propities, It says this divice can't start (Code 10)

I am using aquasite 4.72 and my firmware on the multi switch is 1.06



If someone could help me out that would be great

Thanks in advance :)

Yes, firmware 106 is installed. I use the same power supply wire from the PSU for all Aquacomputer devices. I have 3 X PowerAdjust 2 which works ok. Aquabus cable is shorten to minimum. Get's the same results.

1. install Firmware 106
2. connect aquabus to "low speed" Bus

Firmware 106 Jumper configuration
J5 = closed -> aquabus (no USB available)
J5 = open -> USB Modus (no aquabus available)

Thanks that seems to work for the first time .I can now toggle outputs led’s and relay. Is it possible to use the switches? Where do I find the inputs from the switches on the multi switch in the aquaro 5 menu? :D
