This happens at the initialisation stage. Essentially, the system tries to connect to the pump board 10 times and says each time “Failed Pumps comms 1 times”, …, “Failed Pumps comms 10 times” and then aborts and quits the initialisation.

We do not want to deactivate the checks for everything. Only for the chambers that are not connected to pump boards.

We can send you the code we have made for you to have a look at if you can.

Hi Harry,

Together with Alice we have followed your instructions to repurpose pumps P3 and P4 to be used as an IN and OUT pumps for other Chi.bio turbidostats.

This works as long as all Chi.Bio turbidostats are still connected to pump boards. However, in this new configuration some of the Chi.Bio turbidostats will not (should not) be connected to any pump boards. Currently, this throws an error with a “Failed Pumps comms” error for the Chi.Bio turbidostats that are not connected to any pump boards.

What would be the best way to bypass the checks for connections to the pumps boards for the turbidostats that are not connected to any with the reconfiguration we have discussed above?

Cheers,

Guy
