New SSC

[rdebolt]

Further testing from me. All other programs appear to work for the flex strips. 3 channel, Hybrid, and null nodes appear to work fine.

Yes I know what the problem is. It will not be hard to fix. I wil have a new firmware this weekend that will fix this issue.

Why does life seem to get in the way of fun (and testing)?  Got flexstrips working just using xlights tester, but I do not get a flashing white light when I use the programming utility.  I get a flashing green.  When I reprogrammed for nodes I get a flashing red on the node string.  However my nodes did not work and I now have to go onsite for a customer.  Will dig out a different string of nodes this evening and try some more.

Finally got the parts and its now built.  Time to test.  Just for idea on the size in the pipe bomb minus the end cap but you get the idea.  Dinner and then testing.

Ok I will admit this is a totally untested firmware as my bench is tied up but it shoudl fix the issue. It might not work at all for all I know but can one of you throw it on your V4 and see if it fixes the reported issue and post to let me know?

Thanks

Well I don't think that firmware is good

I got no flashing of lights and then after a restart nothing work. I went back to the previous version and it working again

Did you program a start channel. Sorry I forgot to say it is not setup on a start ect. So you need to run the utility on it.

I hope as the change I made should only apply when the string is in reverse mode.

I get no output to lights with latest firmware. Steps as follows Download and install firmware, set start channel to channel 1 , Set backwards, 120 nodes, flex strip.(Do get verify flash)

Note Just reprogrammed to forward and lights work.

[RJ]

Does it work in forward?  This will help me work on it if it is working just not in reverse.

Ok I will work on it tommorrow and I will have to clear the current project off of the bench to work with it.

Where is the new SS utility, I only have v1 and v2 (unmodded) SSC.  After wondering why nothing I thought hmm I bet thats why

[twooly]

Nevermind I got it and at first I'm seeing the same thing.  Flashing green on a flex strip with setting the start channel.  Off to test more.

I cannot get the new firmware to do anything.

With original firmware, everything works fine except for when I program them in backwards mode. I programmed them as hybrid and backwards. The lights are all on with different colors when they should be off. If I select channel 1-3, the lights will all change to the appropriate color and go back to all on when I turn the channel off. If I select any other channel, nothing happens.

With the new firmware, I get nothing other than a quick flash when plugging them in. When running the smart string utility, I also get nothing not even a flash.
