jck46 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 where do i find the firmware updates and how do i know if i need it i have a new dc board and wondered if i need to update the software
Jim Hans Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 On the LOR website, under SUPPORT you will see a link for FIRMWARE. Look up you piece of hardware and see which firmware is the most current. Using the Hardware utility you can see which version is currently on your equipment. As a rule of thumb for me... if my hardware is working good... I don't upgrade.
bisquit476 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 You can also find the firmware button in the Hardware Utility towards the bottom.

Bob57702 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I haven't updated the firmware, well, ever on my v2 controller. Are the updates cumulative so that I could just update to the latest version or do I need to update all of the versions in between?

jtomason Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Where is a list of the changes in each rev of the firmware? I have 5 CTB16Ds (green) on V3.0 and am not sure if it's worth upgrading.
Don Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 If memory serves, you need at least version 4.30 of firmware on the original series controllers in order to run special effects such as fading twinkle, etc.
jtomason Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Fading and twinkle seem to work just fine on 3.0.
Don Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Fading and twinkle seem to work just fine on 3.0. Fading has always worked. So has twinkle effect. Starting sometime in the S2 version of software new 'special' effects were added. One of the was the 'fading twinkle.' This means that as your lights fade down, they could twinkle at the same time. Here is the portion of the docs that talk about these effects. These effects will work in the sequence editor just fine. The show player will even send the fading twinkle command to the controller. However, as the documentation suggests, older firmware versions may not support it. I've got in my notes (had to go look) that 4.3.0 is the lowest firmware version that will support it. (All G3 controllers will, no worries there.) 1
jtomason Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Ah, gotcha now. Thanks for the clarification! I guess I will upgrade them then.
