Once the light starts flashing you program each of the 4 outputs. You must program all of them. When you are done the last one the flashing stops and the outputs should respond to the programmed address.

I don’t have anything connected to the input although I connected wires to each input to be connected to pushbuttons sometime in the future, but the opposite end is unconnected to anything.
One thing I should mention is that as I was trying to program the outputs by pressing the ID button, is that I could never get the light to stop flashing and I think that’s when things started acting up. I turn off all the power trying to get the flashing to stop but it came right back on when I turned on the power. That’s when I started trying to reset it with the ops button.
Do you by any chance have anything hooked up to the switch inputs? If they're connected to normally closed switches I can see a problem.
Also when you set the address for the outputs you do all 4 the same time. I beleive you hold the ID button down until the green light flashes. Then you send a switch command to each of the 4 address' you'll be using. The green light will flash faster with each address and command entered and stop after the last one.
I hooked up a second DS64 to my layout and the two of them started going crazy so I unplugged one and discounted the track feed. I tried to change the turnout IDs using a NCE PowerCab.
I got confused applying Digitrax terms to NCE and I don’t know what I did, but now DS64 is running an endless loop of throwing each turnout one at a time. First it goes through each turnout one by one turning each ON and then back through still one at a time turning them OFF. Then about 30 seconds later it starts the cycle over again.
I’ve tried resetting the factory defaults and I also changed the board ID without any improvement.
Is it possible that somehow during my confusion over the terms, that I might have started a macro in the PowerCab itself?
