 <rtt..so far
i have rechecked all solder joints
reflashed conductor twice
still no better see attached control panel screen shot

found the problem
if light o rama listener is running on pc the conductor will not accept the sync time command
if you unload the listener the conductor responds fine to sync time command

The Conductor status looks good.  As RJ said it looks like a password problem. 

To confirm this can you "Disable Schedule"?  IF not then it's a password issue.

Ok,  my bad

I would reflow the solder joints on the rtc board then, both on the sides of the header pins.
