Afternoon all,
Ugh head is indeed in the bin today
To go through my experience with it - the software is like going back a generation on anything electronic - it's cumbersome and its best to go through each stage and save it, having lost changes a couple of times I think I'm a bit ocd about saving then loading (when I tried to do it in one then it malfunctioned giving me an error message saying the device is not recognised (hardwired) so basically I make sure the changes are saved and that the laptop has found the unit then time sync then load the changes which seems to work).
Re the wifi it worked great the first day, then whilst trying to work out the software I downloaded PLED which is when the freezing started but now I can work on the schedule but if I try to sync it via wifi then it just freezes the whole programme, I tried one of the many usb cables in desperation and it worked so have just went from there.
My tuppance is I'd get the TC421 because it might be me, or firmware and I'd imagine as it gets more popular then they'll do something to sort issues and you've got the wifi module ready for when and if it gets fixed and at worst use it as a TC420.
The only thing in retrospect for me was someone (maybe Marcel) mentioned about kitelite developing it so my conscience was pinged a bit that I might be doing a genuine small scale aquarium business out of money by using the knock off however when I went to Kitelite I couldn't find their own version and it's also a cumbersome website to navigate and I ended up caught up going round in a loop. So gave up.
There's a pattern there for me - if I can suss it in an hour or so I'm a happy boy boy but the world of wifi routers et al is a dark art, god knows how I've got this far so far.
P.s. incase you hadn't gathered I'm going nowhere near the wifi today - will try your suggestions when I'm a little more ahem fresh
