Set everything up early. Went outside & the synscan is not working.

i have not used EQMOD for about 2 years so had to give myself an extremely long lesson in it, but could not get the gamepad working!!!!!!!!!

The pet bed warmer was great, it was warm for hours while i was sitting on it......................

the other bad news was, it was so hot i have burned my backside on it!!!!!!!!!!

Just keep alternating between the snow and the bed,  :cheesy:

tested Synscan again & it is working. it had been indoors all night, so wondering if they can be affected by temperature. Mine is always in the shed, so no dew, but obviously still cold.

Needless to say, all cables & electronic bits are indoors now...shame about the mount

The gamepad probably needs a driver.

Synscan should work regardless of temperature.  Check the connections

Yep - mine stays parked out in my shed ALL year round & only gets used once every 3 months or so (at least at the moment).. Touch wood not had any problems yet...... John

On reflection ...the gamepad needed batteries! :cry:
