GYRE HELP!

[Stutters]

Hi

So i asked this in the Gyre forum but didnt get much luck

I have 2 icecap units. 2 maxspect gyres. linked to my apex. They both work. They both Run. They both have new boards.

However, One gyre is controlled and follows the set program. The other Gyre just does what it wants and keeps the same speed. The apex doesn't control it. I have confirmed with Apex that var1/var2 are both running the alternating profiles. I press play and one goes through the steps and the other doesnt.


1) Swapped Icecaps to var3/4 on Apex -ICECAP2 Bottom Red light flashing
2) Swapped Icecaps to var1/2 on Apex -ICECAP2 Bottom Red Light Flashing
2) Swapped Radio cable between icecaps ICECAP2 Bottom Red Light Flashing.
3) Cutting power from button one and plugging back in allows the gyre to work at FULL power for about 30 mins before stopping. Afterward, ICECAP2 Bottom flashes Red.
4) Apex can turn both the gyres off toggling the VAR speed off slider.

icecaps have been check by coralvue last week. i sent them to them and they said they are working and the problem is the apex. I have contacted apex who did a remote thing and said the programming was fine since its the brs profile.



kinda at a loss now how to get it working

@SuncrestReef might be able to help you out with this one.

So i did a reset.



So, The gims actually went solid green. So ready for the weird bit.

The left one is running at full power. Apex can turn it on and off easily.

Right one is responsive to Apex programming.

if you preview the BRS wave in the apex on the left. It operates the right one. If you preview it on the right one it works on the right one.


the left one just either turns off or on. there is no inbetween or control.

This maybe a dumb question. Im use the Y cable in the var1/2 ports. do i need 2 cables one in va1/2 and one in 3/4 https://www.coralvue.com/alternate-gyre-mode-modified-cable-for-icecap-gyre-interface-module

has this whole time been a cable fumble?

LOL! I bought the alternative cable too.. but didn’t end up using it because i couldn’t figure out how to schedule it..

have you tried using the cable it came with before the using the alternative cable to make sure all of them are working?
my current schedule running 2 maxspect atm

Totally understand your frustration.. I pretty much gave up using the alternative cable and was jsut happy I can control both of them and stopped..trying

Hey, So ive been using the Y cable and still stuck. Theey have had me buy a new cable. a new motorblock etc and its getting a bit stupid. still cant get them to work. These are the tests I've tried. The support are actually pretty arrogant.

I love the tech behind the gyrre but honestly, I was expecting them to be a little more helpful but instead I have had a lot of 'buy this'

Holy smokes.... That's a LOT of work....
You mean the Y cable that came with the icecap?

I used this one and also ordered the Y cable for the charging port (GP-300-YCBL Maxspect Gyre 300 Series Y Cable $10.00)so I can use just one power supply like the maxspect dual system

Are you plugging it directly to apex system or like a VDM module unit?

ye its going from icecap to apex. same lead as you got.
