Post by Jussek »

i've two elmods pro rev E in my tanks, they work great, but i haven't connected them to the computer for years, until today

i've tried the old elmod configurator, but it do not wont start in my w10 computer. The last time i eas able to hook them up was in my old w7 computer,,,

Hi Jussek,

I had the same problem months back. You need to download the latest FW to the board before you'll be able to access the board with the latest app.

thanks Barry

i was looking at this too, but i've been unable to find the firmware on the elmod web, reading the manual it seems that you can only update it through the software:

Firmware update
For updating the firmware the ElMod Fusion must be connected to a computer. To set the PCB in update mode, switch off the voltage
and press and hold the setup pushbutton on the ElMod Fusion. Switch the voltage on again. The blue status LED blinks three times.
Now start the configuration software and press the red "Update" button. Follow the instruction. on the screen.
The newest firmware versions are always included in the current installation package of the configuration software. A new version of
the configuration software may be installed anytime. It's not necessary to deinstall the existing version before.

here is my main concern... because the elmod app is not recognizing the boards, so i'm afraid to finish with an unusable card if the app is not connecting to it

maybe i'm doing something wrong...

heya guys

seems sorted

finally i've been able to install the old configurator software, with the java 1.6 (not the latest 1.8) and the the soft started up correctly, but was unable to read te card, keep saying that the board had an unknown fw version....

so i unsistalled the app v.10, unsistalled the drivers too, and reisntalled the drivers for the app 1.6, and then the boards were seen again. I just upgraded both to fw v 2.02C, i dont nkow why this is the last version available for this app 1.6...

next step will be install the new app v1.10 and see if then it will be able to upgrade the boards to the last fw

thanks guys!

best regards

thanks mate, i already have acces to the manuals, this was not the issue. but all was sorted out now, at least with the app v1.06

i'm working in the servo parameters for the recoil now, once I have finished I will install the latest version of the app, and the firmware
