Looking for some help with apex

They are the same. You just need a cord with USB plugs on both ends I have one of my power strips 6 feet from the controller and a normal USB extension worked fine

Any USB cable seems to work. It's the long ones with a repeating circuit that won't

Okay I'm trying all the ports now with the one it came with so for 3 out if the six are the same

Do you know how to access the "classic dashboard"(not the fusion interface)? I would like to see what you get when you go to the module configuration page.

From configuration =》module setup click on the window to select the modules. You can see on my screenshot, it shows a couple of diplay modules, two eb8 modules (3&5), and the feeder module (AFS). Does your eb8 show up there?

I just noticed the aquabus isn't lit up.

You mean on the side of the eb8 module?

 

[RCs reef]

I looked at it wrong sorry the status is green along with the brain is green. Still nothing when I try all the usb ports on the eb8 and the two on the brain.

No I don't what's the sight I need to go?

You need to open a browser on your laptop/computer and type in the ip address of the apex unit (ie 192.168.1

.41). This loads the "classic" dashboard. If you are a little computer savvy, you can get it's ip from your router. If not, you can scroll to the networking screen on the little lcd control screen for the apex and get the ip address from there
Min is currently 192.168.1.41 yours will be slightly different

Good stuff. You are in the right place. Try what @nvladik suggested. Select the eb8 module, update it, then reset the apex unit. I would delete the wmx module for now...some people have had issues with eb8's dissappearing while adding the wmx. Just to rule out that issue for now

 

[RCs reef]

Okay thank you

Great! Drag them down to the main screen, re-lock it, then you can program each outlet by clicking on the gear icon beside it

 

[recess62]
