Darryl Lambert Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Could be a bad string. Try swapping the cord to another channel (one that works)for a few minutes. If the same string fickers it's the string.Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl Lambert Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 There might be a issue with firmware 4.4 and fading.http://lightorama.mywowbb.com/forum76/20630.htmlOr it could be the new boards 16PC V7. I haven't tried to fade LEDs with my newest controllers yet. I think I better try.Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaosh Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 well this is a 16pc v4 and now its got worse almost all channels now flicker on fade out. bootlog failed on controller firmware update any help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Lambert Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The new boards are shipped with 4.4 firmware. You cant go back to 4.32 from the website because of hardware change. Hence the bootlog failing.As for the flicker tested two of my new controllers today 16pc V2 firmware 4.4Three hours straight just fading 0-100 varying speeds and not A flicker to be seen.DarrylP.S I have some cheaply made ( expensively priced ) full wave LED strings. I've noticed that they flicker a bit now after the dimming from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaosh Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 i guess these are cheaper but new out of the box. also using same ones on older controllers and they work great. why upgrade to the 4.4 if they didnt need to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
