Possible wireless glitch

[batdive]

Well been staring at our neighborhood test sequence... white...red...green...blue...white....LOL.

I made sure to fire it up prior to the firmware update and saw two glitches in less than 2 minutes.

Flashed everything and ..


Been staring at it for approx. 10 minutes without a glitch.  That was for the first leg, I wont get a chance to see the 2nd wireless jump until tonight (which exaggerated the glitch, because it would receive on uni 1 and re tx on uni 3).

Looks like you have a winner RJ....

Thanks for the update and I'll see if anything changes tonight during the show.

Ok this is the REALLY BETA version of the Ver 1 receiver firmware. Use it in your ver 1 RX and EX/RX units. I have not even had this in a unit do to not having the ability to so if someone can throw this on a ver 1 and test so I know it works. This will be all we need as the ver1 TX will not need an update.

p.s.  N1ist (Mike) thanks again for the DMX grid it was a lifesaver working on this glitch once I got it where I could replicate it reliably. I could watch the whole 512 channels at the same time on the bench for any errors.

Flashed a v1 RX with this firmware, and noticed two random flashes within the first five minutes... always on the channel number just below the current (on) channel.  Not better (or worse) than before.  Will report later after I flash a v1 EX/RX.

By George, or Robert we might have it.

Flashed the wireless chips and installed, everything came up fine and noticed the Green Data LED lights have a more consistent rythum.

Stood outside watching my whole show and did not see one flash or freezes up.

I am wireless again.

Thanks RJ, will keep you posted if I do see something unusual.

Updated the wireless firmware today on all the receivers in our show(Lots). After they decided not to change out the Main Transformer at the Sheriffs Office so I had some freed up time to do it today.  Three shows tonight not one glitch. Solid as wired with over 400 channels and spread across the yard.

Mix of ver 1 and 2 on Express and SSR4's using a ver 2 TX of course.

Thats enought endorsments for me.

Rick if you would be so kind as to replace the wireless firmware with these two. The ver 1 transmitter firmware is ok but the Ver 2 firmware and the compatable firmware for Ver 1 receivers need replaced.

We will consider this the new final firmware for the wireless units. I recommend all users update to this for an slightly less blinky show.

Clarification needed one more time.

Are the only devices affected just the RX and TX devices? Are the EX/RX devices OK, either with the old or new firmware?

Is the original TX firmware still valid if only channel one is the only one being used?

Per RJ only thing not affected is the ver 1 TX.  I flashed my EX RX along w ver 2 TX and RXs and they work great now.  All our neighborhood stuff is ver 2.

Two nights with not a flaw. I would say the wireless in the yard is as clean as my cabled show every was.

Too cold to update firmware...

Hey guys, question. I reflashed my Tx/Rx (V1.2) with the new firmware. I am using a Standalone Tx (V1.2)

When I plugged in the first  LE (v5) with the updated wireless, the data link was not solid rather strobing. I don't remember that. This one happens to be on my roof, so it was my first to do, and would be my hardest to get to after dark.

Is that normal?

[Dennis Cherry]

Yes, mine strobe also. That look better than the old flicker which was erratic.
