I recently upgraded the firmware on all of AC-16 boards and let just say that I quickly switched back to 1.17 firmware. Darryl at d-light said that Aurora users may experience issues and should hold off on upgrading firmware until Aurora comes up with a patch. I know that Aurora isn't being developed right now but could their be a work around. The sticky channels are really bothering me! Who has the answer? ------------- www.brightonbrittain.com |

Only one man has that answer. I do find it odd that Daryl did not make the firmware a beta first so it could be extensively tested prior to general release. I sense a disturbance in the Force....

I was involved with the Beta testing of 1.19 but did not test on Aurora (even though I own it). I'm still stuck in LOR space. ------------- JonB - D-Light user |

Stick with firmware 1.17 or prior for this season. There are changes to the protocol in 1.19 which are not backward compatible with the old protocol spec. I was only notified of the changes last week and they involve a rather major change to how Aurora compiles the sequences. If Aurora were in active development (which it is not) it would take no less than 2 weeks (a month being much more realistic) to make the changes and get them through beta testing before they were ready for public release. I know it looks bad, but don't blame D-Light either. They were only responding to some things outside of their control as well. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">
