                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Just to post this for all to read - After hours of troubleshooting and time on phone with Chuck, I eventually found the ground reference connection for RS232 was not getting through to the motor.  So the motor's ground reference was not effective for the motor to read the RS232 signals.  So even though the loop-back test should a good circle, it did not prove the ground reference at the motor.  Lesson for all: Make sure the ground reference is healthy all the way to the end motor!]]></content:encoded>

LED red to green - Yes, happens every time I tried it.

Another update - I obtained a USB to RS485 cord to try talking that way.  It seems to find the 11 motors on the string, but not be able to talk to them.  Playground will actually say it "Connects" but doesn't seem to have any control of the motor.

Wonder how I could upload to you a copy of a program that is PROBABLY in this motor.]]></content:encoded>
