Peter B Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi All,Just a quicky I hope!On these kits when you finish completing the kit, do you then have to load the firmware or is it already loaded on the chip?Ie: Plug and play.Many thanks in advance.Pete.

Dale W Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Peter - The preassembled units have the firmware included in the package. You only had to plug it in and assign it a channel. The one thing you may want to do is to check that your unit has the latest version of firmware via the Hardware Utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not need to download to the chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter B Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi All,Need some info/guidence please.I have the above listed controller (CTB - 16KD) and obviously when the sale comes up want to purchase more controllers.Do I stick with more of the same units or do I purchase different LOR model units? Really don't know/understand .Thanks in advance,Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Peter,All LOR units play fair with one another. As far as additional units to purchase, it is more of a personal choice. Some have stated that they would never use a controller in stand alone and opt for the PC version. I personally am keeping all my boards the same, and i am using the 16D kit.I hope this helps your decision.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmoore60 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Duke,In the CTB16 controllers firmware is upgrade via a download to the board. As far as I know ONLY the CTB08 baord require an actual chip change when firmware update is needed.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
