:ROFLMAO: I think you need a new job! But I'm glad this is what you choose. :) @mknauss I clicked the link you gave to make a donation, but it just took me to the TFP hompage. So then I click "Support TFP" on the left, but that just re-directs to the homepage as well. Any ideas?

Jim, thanks for the quick and insightful response! You fixed my problem!! In all these years I didn't realize that! When I say it doesn't change from "Display not Active" half the time, apparently that meant that it didn't change within my period of patience half the time. I just tried...

@ajw22 Our pump is model number 011018. I think that's the original IntelliFlo, it was installed at the end of 2015. @Jimrahbe How exactly do I check the firmware on the pump? I went through all the menu items under settings, but couldn't find anything to indicate firmware revision. I've...

I have read so many threads on similar topics but haven't found another with my particular issue and solution... The root issue is that my Intelliflo pump hasn't been running the last several days. Further information: 1) During the scheduled run time, or if I press the F button, the SWG and...

Nice work! Sounds like you've determined that it's a failed Laird module for sure then, presumably the EEPROM. Too bad these modules are so hard to get a hold of! I looked at selling my remote on ebay (it's in perfect shape), but there appears to be a lot of supply there right now so will keep...

Based on your tests, it sounds like the issue, with high confidence, is the MCU being unable to talk to the AC4790. If you're ambitious, you could use your debugger / programmer to see if you can read out the firmware from a good AC4790; chances are the memory is locked from JTAG reading, but...

Nice work Tom, you made some really good progress! Thank you for documenting exactly what you did. It looks to me like there is no EEPROM in the Laird module, unless I'm missing it? That means they must be using the flash memory within the CC1010 to emulate an EEPROM. Typically flash memory...

Hi Tom, The 520949 version 2040 for $215 on Ebay sold quick, unfortunately it was gone by the time I saw your reply. :( The rest are above $450 so I'll have to wait for another deal to come along to snag one for comparison debugging. Maybe you've already found this, but it appears that Laird...

Thanks for the message Tom. My EasyTouch controller / subpanel is located in our basement as it's an indoor pool. The antenna board is also located indoors, and is in a spot that's inaccessible to contact. Therefore, I think I can rule out ESD and most likely lightening as we don't have any...

Hello TFPs! My Pentair EasyTouch8 wireless controller is stuck on "NO COMMS" and I can't relink it. I believe the antenna board, Pentair 520949 (AKA 520946) has failed, which seems very common when searching online. The POWER LED is on solid red, and the 485 LINK / RF LINK LEDs flash red 6...
