I found the following on GitHub. I may take a shot at it. GitHub - dminear/easy-touch-raspberry-pi: EasyTouch controller implemented on a Raspberry Pi.

Wow, this thread was a while ago, but I've an update. So, to make a long story short, they replaced the motor. I paid for shipping to them, they paid to get it back. Less than a year later, another problem, probably the motor again. IF you are the Sunnyvale, CA area, I have a Rapids 4WD you can...

OK, I scored on Ebay with a ScreenLogic wireless kit at about $60 shipped. However it is in unknown condition. Looks basically new to me. I believe it's a matched set: ScreenLogic Wireless Link has the following on it: FC: KQL-AC4490 IC: 2268C44901000 Small Wireless extender board: Laird...

A quick update. Sent it for repair in Texas and it is now working fine. Cord seems to be tangling up more in the second season. The latest iteration of the 4WD has a swivel on the cord, it can be retrofitted, but at $250+ (can't remember the exact price) for the swivel upgrade it's not likely...

Re: New AquaBot Rapids XLS and 4WD Not sure why they didn't suggest the California ones. I suspect the map is out of date on their website and that the service centers are dropping them. Pool looks like ****, been too busy with urgent family matters to really take care of the pool. Mark

Re: New AquaBot Rapids XLS and 4WD And eventually they get back and say, it's within the 2yr warrantee and that you will have to pay for shipping. Closest service center is in Texas. . . This took numerous phone calls and emails. Pool looks like **** now too. ARGH.... Mark

Re: New AquaBot Rapids XLS and 4WD Currently quite unhappy with Aquabots phone support. Inept email/phone call backs. I've been trying to get an answer to what needs done since previous post. Anyone in Sunnyvale area willing to let me bring over my robot and power unit to help self diagnose...

Argh.... my Rapids 4WD just stopped working. On pressing the go button, it pumps water for about 5 seconds, starts to move, then stops. I suspect something may be jamming the wheels, but I can fairly easily turn the wheels (in one direction, not the other). Help....

OK, the programming of the EasyTouch 8 isn't exactly clear.... Is there a recommended FAQ or How-To on this, I've read a couple of ones from a search I did, but many assume a pool company helped setup the initial setup. Mine is from scratch and I'm confused! Currently I'm using the program in...

I really like the idea of stainless steel washers as all the online review for cover straps either have them melting or falling off.

BIG thanks to everyone that has posted on installation of Pentair Easytouch systems. It would have been tough without you guys/gals. I consulted numerous posts on TFP to ensure I wired up things correctly. (Or at least reasonably as there are numerous opinions on 'correct'). I had mounted this...
