Is anyone getting mid-day reboots?  Since updating to this ALPHA (yes I know it's alpha...) I have had several days (not every day) that there have been middle-of-the-day reboots.  This never (well, almost never) happened with any of the other FWs I've used.

If it's just me, I'll look into what's causing it.  If it's a FW issue...I guess I will just live with it until it's fixed.

I haven't seen this myself, but we've already seen that this build breaks the MNGP logging. Please let me know if you find out that this is a configuration issue or if anyone else has noticed the mid-day reboot.
We're in the process of getting the disparate code bases all merged up so we'll hopefully have a Beta version of the firmware to test soon.

Thanks,

Since it's sporadic, I only notice it when I happen to be here.  I exported my settings and imported them after uploading this FW, so it's safe to say that I've not changed any settings.

I did notice that the time sync was off and at least one of the reboots I've seen was because the clock was wrong and it thought it was midnight.  However, I seem to remember that I got 2 reboots in the same day at least once.  Once in the middle of the day and one after dark, 10-ish.  Next time I got a reboot around 10PM I checked and discovered the time sync issue.

As far as I know, rebooting can be made to happen if either more than one MNGP is reading logging from a classic at the same time OR
the Local App is reading off-line data logging information from the Classic at the same time its MNGP is reading that logging data.

Other than this, I am not aware of the MNGP having its data logging broken.

The broken logging is with Andrew's Alpha version of the firmware. In any of the Hourly or Daily Log functions the Graphs do not plot. The cursor moves but no line is drawn for the graphs. Also the dates are screwed up. When I went back to the production firmware all the graphs and dates worked. The broken logging was not associated with reboots as far as I know.

I should check in more often as I only just stumbled across this update to My Midnite news. From what I can see in the screen shots and feature list. The improvements look great. :)

I will make an effort get the new firmware on both my classics this weekend and join the test pilot team :o

Other than doing my best to find bugs. I can report back with some juicy graphs showing (A day in the life of a charge controller on Lithium battery's) ;)

thanks... Lots of new stuff there.  Will have to browse a bit

(Yes I did start the diesel tractor with the 1.3ah lithium battery) ;)...bit off topic


I just registered my two classics with the new My midnite test server. (I wont have the new alpha software installed on the classics until the weekend)

Though I can confirm my two classics are uploading to the new test server (so I can confirm you can upload to it with the latest production firmware). Date is correct but the time is incorrect even after setting the time zone (yes time is spot on on both classics) It also shows both my classics as (resting) though they are not and contradicts what its showing in the graphs.

Could be meaningless feedback though as I am still using the production software in the classics. I should reserve judgement until I get the alpha software installed in a few days.

Are we going to see a beta version of the firmware with the network fixes? Here im too dependent on our system to test any alpha grade software. But still keen to try it if it was beta.

Any updates on the availability of the new firmware (beta or otherwise)? Last update to this thread was almost 2 months ago. Happy to be involved in testing.

Very keen to get my hands on firmware with improved current calibration. Randomly I get 'phantom charging'. 2 Classics say 0.0A but my Fluke meter showing a charging current.

..and also if trying to download logging to another computer via serial port/modbus
Now means external web server can't use classic's internal logs
Any progress on repairing this?  Does it just need a reading lock installed?
