Appendix D: Reset and Initialization
The terms "reset" and "initialization" refer to totally different things on the RLC-Club. The
controller is "reset" when any of the following things happen:
• the power is turned off and back on
• the reset button on the motherboard is pressed and released
• Command 035 is executed
Resetting the controller does not cause you to lose any of your programming. It does restart all
of the timers and a lot of other internal variables. If the controller is not doing what you think it
should, try resetting it and see if things straighten out.
"Initialization" (sometimes called "re-initialization") resets all of the controller's internal
settings back to the factory defaults. It does cause you to lose all of your programming. You
will almost always have to initialize the controller when you install a new version of software,
but rarely otherwise. If you are trying to learn to program the RLC-Club and you mess things
up, you can use this to put everything back the way it is supposed to be. Initialization does not
hurt the RLC-Club in any way - there is no EEPROM or anything to wear out. To reinitialize
the RLC-Club, follow one of the two methods below:
Method #1: Press and hold the INIT button on the motherboard. Turn on the power.
Wait for about 3 seconds (or longer). Release the INIT button.
Method #2: Turn the power on. Press and hold the INIT button. Press and release the
RESET button. Wait at least 3 seconds. Release the INIT button.
If you are successful you will hear the message "I-N-I-T" out of the transmitter that is hooked
to port 1 and see the message "All settings have been reset to factory defaults" on the serial
terminal.
