    I have had mine for a few months now and love the ease of programming and will be adding a 5 th or six driver soon.

    I just got my typhon yesterday and I'm pretty certain I fried it. I wiggled the red and black wires that dim the driver and the LCD went blank :-[ UGH!!!

    Play around with it a bit, if i do have 1 complaint, they are a little touchy like that, which is why you put it in a project box of sorts. Play around with the power wire for it.

    Thanks Cosmo, I will mess around with it. I didn't here a "pop" or anything. It just went blank. Hopefully it's just something loose.

    I see it has 8 slot for 8 drivers. But is 4 5v and 4 10v. Does it work in either 5v or 10v? I have my and I plug and test 1 driver in. Light come up, but the screen just keep blinking non stop. Anyone have this problem? I have talk with boostled, and they going send me another unit.

    And one have pics of their setup? I am confused with it.
    It say, when I plug in and wire up my driver to the controller, I should see time and intensity and chanel #, but I dont see any of that, all I see is blinking screen.

    Thanks,
