Title: New Firmware
Post by: peatmoss on March 21, 2023, 07:44:48 PM
Looks like there is a new beta firmware for RED/BLUE controllers 9.5b1 (2023-03-21). Anyone try it yet? I just happened to log into my system red for the first time in 6 months and noticed  :lol:

I'm on 9.1 red, wonder if I can go direct to 9.5b1?

Log in here https://www.blitzortung.org/en/forum.php (https://www.blitzortung.org/en/forum.php) and look for the firmware that you are looking for.

I went to 9.51b shortly after your post.  Been working fine since.

Updated both my RED and BLUE units.

I received the message:

 :!: GPS week rollover bug detected! Time has been adjusted by +1024 weeks.

On the BLUE unit.

They both seem to be working OK so far...

On blitzortung.org, the Station list has four instances of my RED (706) and two for the BLUE (1682).

Heh... you didn't catch that you were now also supporting Europe on the Red?   They're doing region adjustments, etc.  And moving to another server...  Blue and Red in NA are counting in 2 regions... NA 1 and NA 2... the one is 'continental', and the other 'all stations', or something similar.  A few of us have had stations assigned multiple regions... that may or may not be permanent.

make sure you download for BLUE sys!
Then,...
on controller 'tools',
'system'
'firmware'...
browse for file you just downloaded...
select it,
allow it to upload, and wait for it to verify, and update itself.
