firmware upgrade

I know this has been somewhat discussed in the recent passed few days. But I am a simple person who needs simple straightforward answers. Question: What exactly is the firmware upgrade and does it need to be done?

Can you tell us more about your configuration?

What boards do you have? (Green/Blue?)
How many do you have?
Are you using *ANY* LED lights?
What version of the Hardware Utility are you running?

If you are not using LED lights you do not need the upgrade. If you are using LEDs and you notice a slight flicker at the start of a fade (at about 20% intensity) and that flicker has to be elminated then you need the upgrade.

Don,

I have two green and one blue 16 channel controllers. No LEDs are being used. I don't know what is meant by hardware utility.

Also will the green and blue boards operate together without problems? Is this upgrade something that should be done anyway?

According to Dan, since you are not using LED's, you do not need to upgrade the firmware.

The blue and green boards will work fine together.

I went ahead and upgraded my firmware even though I do not use LED's yet. I was running ver. 2.0...... I think the upgrade is ver 4.01.... Was there a 3?????

I'm about 95% sure there was not.

Don is correct about the 95%..... I think that only about 5% of the CTB16s were shipped with 3.0....
