Title: Express v2 to v4
Post by: d2frette on December 07, 2012,

I have 16 Express v2 boards and parts that I never put together. A friend is interested in helping me, which gets me back into the mode of automating my lights.

Since I have all the original parts, unassembled, should I just assemble them? Or should I order v4 boards and build them? Is there a big improvement from v2 to v4?

Thanks!

Hi,

This is the list of changes from v1 to v5 of Lynx Express unit. (v5 is the latest Express board version).

I would consider just building your 16 units as they are functionally the same as a v5. Otherwise you'll have to check what components were added/deleted/changed from v2 to v5 and order more parts accordingly.

Thanks Leo. Looks like most of it is the same. Do they both use the same firmware?
