I cannot get my 1st completed Aether to accept the channels. Before I tried to set my channels I ran full tests (wired and wireless) with no problems. Channel 1 White, 2 red, 3 green, 4 blue. I am running the Lynx Express Configuration Utility and selecting Channel 500 as my start channel. After I run the utility channel 500 is green, 501 is blue and 498 is full on (white) I have no red on any channel. I have tried several times on 2 computers with no luck. <md.. Any suggestions?
Update: After thinking about the 512 channel limitation (even though the Aether is only 4) I tried to set start channel at 400 and the same thing happens. If I set my start channel back to 1 No problems. Everything works fine.

I will take a look

I think you are suppose to use the Lynx Address program and not the Lynx Express Config program

No it uses the Lynx Express utility to program it.
If I am right it is a bug in the firmware I introduced late. I bet it works when you address it less than channel 252?

I have downloaded the Address program, but all I get from the one that I downloaded is a test utility unless I am doing something wrong.

I'll try it and let you know in a couple of minutes.

RJ You are correct. Set at start channel 200 everything works fine.

I dont know if this is related, but to program my two Aethers (400+ channel start) I had to set the start channel in the Utility 2 above what I actually wanted. Not sure why but it works each time. So my first Aether is 466 white but programmed it with start channel 468, 2nd was 470 start but programmed it with 472.
Both of mine work fine and have all 4 channels available.
Hope that helps.

Not sure why hes not seeing red if you are?
I will look at it as soon as I can get setup to do so. It will be a day or so. Then I imagine I will post some updated firmware to fix the bug. So you all can keep building it has no effect on the hardware itself.

Can verify that above 256 the channels get skewed by two. But I like batdive had all four channels just started two channels lower than we programmed.
So when I set it to 500 it started at 498 for white, 499 for red, 500 for Green, 501 for blue.
Can you check again that this is not the case for you and you really do not have red.
The 2 channel off issue I can take care of in firmware.

This firmware will resolve the address off by two issue above 256.
I will get it on the wiki and mark it as the new one when I get time.

Thanks and worked for me.

Thanks RJ! I will try it tonight.

Just to get this straight, the channel order is white, red, green, blue? I was under the impression that it was red, green, blue, and white as the override. I guess I'll have to fix up my sequences?

Yes the first line up... White / Red / Green / Blue.

I installed the latest firmware and after 2 tries it works as prescribed! I had to erase my pic, then reinstall. After the first download of the latest, I could program the channels ok, but green and blue would not dim. After erasing pic and reinstalling all is good! Thank you RJ for the fast response! <res.

Glad you got it working.
