So I was watching the video on how to update the firmware via the update cable. when it says face the pin holes away from the com module, we’re talking about the slots on the side of the update cable or the actual 4 holes at the bottom?
Also, i have 2 4 pin connectors in the panel. One right by the com module and the other towards the bottom/middle of the panel. I should be plugging this in to the one right by the com module, correct?
So I got the panel to update, but I’m trying to update the TS1 and after I power it up, the update process never finds the panel. It just keeps saying “pinging”. Is the cable connection really sensitive?
Got it! I was using the right version. The cable wasn’t holding the male connector well enough. I bent the pins a little to get it to seat in the cable better. Working now! I’m also holding very, very still!
I generally do not like the way the update process was implemented especially on the TS1. Here’s hoping the GC3 and its secondary panel makes the process easier when released.
Initial signals will need to register at the panel (there are commands that need to go through) so yes, it takes a short bit. Usually no more than 10-20 minutes.
