Title: aux 2 whizbang, aux 2 input, and follow me
Post by: jtdiesel65 on April 08, 2021, 04:16:33 PM
IIUC, aux 2 is the only place to connect the whizbangjr and the only aux that accepts an input to trigger the controller to move to float. So either one or the other. What if you have two classics in followme, one setup with whizbangjr and one set up for input? Will both controllers stop absorb with end_amps=shunt since they are in follow me. Also, will both controllers move to float if the CC setup for aux input is triggered?

thx

It seems the answer is no if the input puts the classic into "rest".  Rest is not a followme state. If the input puts the classic into float, then it should work. But I didn't find an exact answer.

If the Classic will force to float from Aux 2 input, then the follow me should cause the other Classic(s) to follow me to float from that input.

I seem to remember that there is an Aux 2 input to stop charging so that would be the same as Resting but you are correct that Follow Me does not tell the other Classic(s) to do that.
