Re: X10 IR interface

[ian.bird@xxxxxxx]

Hi Mark

I had a similar problem and to resolve it I had to take the cover off HV
and short the battery terminals for a few seconds. This cleared everything
and after some connection checking on the input/output ports it was all
well again.

In my case the problems was caused by a PC failure where the power supply
and motherboard went pear shaped. I can only guess but some surge down the
serial connection confused HV horribly.

Good luck

Ian

Dunno....

"Making it work again" is definitely on the "to do"
list :-)
