Searched, but didn't find, so here goes.
I have a Chinese Red with a Top Wisdom controller... I know I know. I checked everything but what controller it had in it.
So I'm looking at what it would take to switch to Ruida and get to using RDWorks. A look at the Cloudray web site lists two different controllers and two VERY different prices. So my question is to those of you that have them.
What is the difference between the 6442 and the 6445? I've also seen a reference to a G version vs an S version.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Dave. I did it from a different controller. Just cant remember the name, but it was very easy. Just simply unplug the wires one by one and connect them to the other one by one. I was going to pay a guy quite well to do it, but he didnt show up. When I did it, it took about 10 mins. I bought my controller from wavetopsign or topwavesign. Their name is something like that. I have bought a few things off them, they have been very good. I think the controller cost $450. Hope that helps
Regards
Scott

The 6445 has a larger [color I think] readout panel which may not fit in your existing panel. The S & G suffixes make no difference that I know of. I think that these controllers have more functions that we don't use or know about.
