the problem is not that the follow me mode does not work, most of the time. it works. but every so often it does not. i am aware of the tutorial. intermittent faults are always the worst and most difficult to solve.

those 3 midnite classics in follow mode have been following each other since christmas. now, i l hope the wires are "positioned correctly".
and no, the 3 midnites are not all programmed exactly the same. for example the voltage adjustments are different in each of them. float and absorb settings are slightly different. (that is because what the classic is set to and what it actually does are not exactly the same. (i have lifepo4 batteries and they are very touchy to one tenth of a volt difference) firmware 2126 all 3 midnite classics. two classics are in solar mode, the master in legacy. the master is in legacy because it goes to rest mode in sunny weather in solar mode. i would presume the follow me command would still cause all 3 classics to follow, what ever all the settings. possibly might cycle, but all 3 classics together. in my case one classic did not give on the float command.
i will set the slaves back to legacy mode. and go from there. (by the way, solar mode with multiple classics causes rapid fluctiations of power in float and absorption mode, which i do not like too much.)
to do a firmware reset: this will take some time and i want to be at home during the float.
i opened this post, to make people aware that sometimes the follow me mode does not work. personally i do not like that follow me thing. i would like it to be the master on the whiz bang jr that does all the deciding. like the general gives the command to attack and all soldiers attack. not a random soldier gives a command to attack or stops the attack because he is fiddling around his phone for example. just saying
