Thank you for the clarification.
I'm going to be honest I haven't seen any disc icon, but I will go back there and see I will also safe screen print of the device ID and post it in a minute.
Also the low speed bus is disabled since I think previous firmware update, so we can only use the high speed, but thanks for the suggestion

OK here are attachments, that's the only way I could upload them. I have try saving settings but no go.
This is by far the longest I ever spend on trying to configuring either software or hardware on my PC :(

O Man!!!! Finlay :P :thumbsup: I'm so happy, It works. I don't remember being this happy in a log time.
I will do further tests, connect all 3 PA3 and I will post final verdict tomorrow.

Spoke to soon :( It does work, but only 1 PA3 module at a time and ONLY If I use 4-pin cable to connect directly PA3 with Aquaeros high speed bus, than strangely if I try to daisy chain first PA3 to the second PA3 module using 3 pin cable that came with PA3, both modules disappear from aquasuite, yes they both were assign different ID while they were connected via-USB
Now I'm even more confuse ?(

I still don't think your address assignments have been changed. Please plug in all three via usb only if you can and show the address assignments for each. If you can't do all three, one by one is ok.

The image above has the default address. Don't know if that's what it's supposed to be but I want to see the change.

The image I posted was when PA3 was connected via USB before I discovered that the only way I can see PA3 under devices connected via aquabus when I would use 4pin cable .Now when I use 4pin cable to connect directly the first PA3 to aquaero it works, but now if I connect 3pin cable that is connected with the first PA3 (daisy chain) to the second PA3 they both get disconnected.
They both have different ID's that I have assign while they were connected via-USB I can only do 1 at a time I don't have a slitter, but afterwords if I use that 4 pin cable and connect each of those 2 PA3 individually, they show under devices connected via aquabus and they have different ID ...50 and 51 I can make screens of it but that's exactly how it looks, something strange when I try to daisy chain them
Things go wrong when I try to daisy chained them, what cables are you using, that really shouldn't make huge difference, it seems if I use 3pin that came with PA3 nothing works i have try different 3pin cables, same thing ?(
Thank you

Yes that's exactly what I have and I can use to connect 4pin cable from aquaero high speed bus to that splitter, than from that splitter connect PA3 and flow sensors.
But if I connect PA3 to that splitter or even to aquacomputer Y-splitter via 3-pin its not showing I can only use 4 pin directly with aquaero and 1 at a time, but now the issue I have when I daisy chain 2 or 3 PA3 they all gone

Any chance we can see how you physically have it setup? What cables, etc.

OK sorry for taking that long.
I hope you can see the images and what they represent I have named them. Basically If I use 4pin cable directly to PA3 from aquaero it works as showing and it shows different ID from the other PA3 under devices.
If I use the 4pin cable to connect to splitter and than connect PA3 to that splitter with 3pin cable its not showing, if I connect 4pin cable again directly to the PA3 and try to daisy chain from that PA3 with supplied or my own 3pin cable them they are not showing at all.
Thank you

Well, Its finally done and I can say it all works as it should.

For minute I was second guessing myself. I'm not an expert by any stretch of imagination, but I figure, this should not be a rocket science unless I'm really not grasping simple procedure.

I have a few of aquacomputer cables and some of my old cables that I did for my system, maybe year ago that I forgot about.

I connected one of my old cables (3pin) boom, it works I use 2 more of them (3pin) daisy chain the 2x PA3 and all works great.

Man, all this time, all the harassing email to shoggy which btw. he was very helpful, but I guess if you not in front of someone's PC, you can only do so much.

Thank you Railgun, you have been good member, you have made great effort to try to help I will always remember that.

Thank you



Ps. I'm getting another Aquaero 6XT (blue led's) and I'm going to remove the Stainless steel face plate like I did with my current unit I won't use them, If you need or want I have already 1 in protective plastic it looks like brand new, but as soon as I get back from my trip I will have the second plate, you more than welcome to have it if you want I can ship it to you I know I will never use them.

I had started to type up cable this, cable that. But glad you got it worked out.

And thanks for the offer. I'm all dressed in black so no worries.

;( I'm going to humble myself and say this..admitting when being wrong its hard in today's world, but it has its benefits as well. My own ignorance made me waist 2 days trying to figure this out and yes the outcome was the cable, but that's not aquacomputer cables fault at all, it was purely my wrong doing.
I just know this something that cut my eye when I was looking at the ends of the cables before connector and I felt so X( and at the same time :wacko: Ive done custom cables for a long time WTH.... I'm really getting old and clumsy.
I think it might have been out of rush (maybe that's just an excuse :D ), when I was customizing the aquacomputer cables I put the darnnn terminals backwards in to the connector :evil: and I just realize I did that to all my cables when I have cut them, put new terminals and hit shrink them...OMGI feel dumb now, all this time and I was even trying to blame AC cables I have to sent an email to Shoggy and apologize as it was purely my fault ;( :)

Glad it all worked out. This is how the PC world is. We miss the little things at times. My main focus was the cables from the get-go. Nonetheless, its a great piece of hardware.

Yes, sometimes your own small error that you happen to overlooked can cause you ton of grief, but its nice to talk and laugh about it afterwards


Thank you all for your help :thumbsup:
