Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 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?

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: What exactly is the firmware upgrade and does it need to be done?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.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 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?
