Default Re: Programming Curtis 1238-I can help

You scared people are gonna do this for free?

They've done it (several of them). Those buggy guys have done a lot to get these cables working, but it doesn't work with the code they posted. It works with the code on the 1314 CD. They need the different software, you're right.

In fact, that code they posted doesn't even work with the 1314 PC Programmer I've got.

The software must be 2008 or later in order to work for the 1238. And, no one has demontrated that they have made up a interface that will work on a 1238. Its time people stop lying trying to be important on these forums as our pupose should be to help each other. The 1311 older model hand held will not work with the 1238 either. The 1238 is a differant animal when it comes to programming. The newer 1314PC with USB and new software works the best.

Actually, I bought one of each (one PC version and one handheld version). The handheld has been used by buddies of mine on their 1238, but I'll humor you and try mine tonight (I just got it back from my buddy yesterday). I've done it before, but I'll take some pictures this time.

If you're so "right" about the 1311, then why is it on the datasheet for the 1236, 1238 and 1238R as a means to program parameters into the controller?

Like most of the Forum mongers, you didnt get my point. The older model 1311 DO NOT WORK. Only the 4401, 3301, 2201 and the 1101. If your 1311 is not one of the abouve, it is the older model that does not work PERIOD.

Hey cruisin,

I've got a 1311-4401 Serial #00004370 LP manufact date 06090. Will it work with 1238?

Thanks,

major

And, like most of the know-it-all salesmen on here that clarify things after the fact ....... it backfired.

The "older Model" programmer is actually a 1307 programmer, which won't work. The 1311 is not the "old style", the 1307 is, but if I'm not mistaken, you can't even buy those anymore. So you're not even right. The "old" style isn't even in the 1311 family. Only 4 are in the 1311 family, 1101, 2201, 3301 and the 4401.

Maybe you should be a little more clear before you start off instead of being so abrasive.

I was just trying to get you to prove your "facts", since you were accusing people of being wrong and being liars.


(p.s. I own a 1311-4401, and a 1314 with the 4401 software and a 1309 interface box)

That's interesting coming from someone who want's to "help" us by selling us over priced programmers and software to use the controller we already paid for. No one is lying to be important, whatever that means, we are trying to find ways to program OUR controllers without being ripped off. I understand your position as a vendor but you aren't exactly helping your potential sales with your current attitude.

Default Re: Programming Curtis 1238-I can help

First of all lets be clear of what I said and did. I havent tried to sell anybody a overpriced programmer or the softare as the previous scammer indicated. I do all the programming at no charge. I dont see any of you offering the above sevices. Secondly, the older model 1311 has differant numbers after the 1311 than the ones I listed. Those are the ones that dont work. Lastly, the other scammer that posted here, has a reputation of trying to correct everybody without the knowledge of the subject matter, and ALWAYS HAS TO BE RIGHT. He knows who he is. I noticed that nobody has come forward with proof of the working home brewed interface using the 06 software. I tried to tell you it wont work, yet the scammer keeps complaining about a overprice programmer and how everybody has made a cludge work. Both you guys need to step up to the plate and stop lying to feel important as a scammer. If the shoe fits, wear it.

Major, YES that programmer you have should work with most Curtis including the 1238 as it is current, but will be replaced in July. let me know if you need any help on how or what to program.
