Latest Classic Firmware Downloads

[Resthome]

When can we get the Midnite web page updated with the latest production firmware for the Classic?

It's been out of date for a long time and we have had promises to get it up to date but nothing seem to have taken place. Thought we had a person to make sure documentation and firmware was posted to the web page in a timely fashion, maybe not.

I had been Beta testing the new voice firmware last  year but turned it off because it had a glitch where it kept talking when mppt float and float were switching in and out. I think I heard that this had been corrected - but must be in one of the new firmwares that has never showed up on the Midnite page.

An Robin has said Classic's are shipping with Voice firmware.

There is also a bug on the Audio - Advance page trying to set the time between status and error reporting. You cannot always get these set as they do not always highlight. If they are left at 0 the voice just keep repeating and the minutes between status does seem to be too accurate to me. I get status messages even when set to Error only.

The fact that the support Knowledge Base shows more recent firmware version and what firmware works with what MNGP firmware and just January firmware on the Software page indicates the latest firmware are not being posted. And yes it would be nice to get a readme file stating what change in the firmware.

Hey John !    There will be an official upload of this code to the web site soon (gotta abide by the bureaucratic ECN process) BUT for the moment, here is Classic version 2193.  This version may help some Classics that crash when they heat up.

It  lacks the 250KS  and MNGP code which did not change.

I am still on the Voice Beta 2154 voice MNGP  - is there a newer one than that ?
The one I have has the stuttering problem when it gets to Float MPPT .

Guess I will find out when it gets posted on the Midnite page.

Now I've forgotten, can firmware updated be performed without adding the voice option ?

FW 2126 with NetWork 2097 is mute... AFAIK, at least mine is

Believe that the Classic Voice FW is still Beta,   here:

The MNGP is what talks.  The Classic has code in it to be able to update the MNGP flash with the sounds.

You can use an older MNGP version or newer version and just don't upload the audio.  Might be best in that case to
turn OFF the AUDIO in the MNGP MISC menu.

So, yes, you can update the MNGP without the voice AFAIK.

Not according to Robin. He stated that Classics are now shipping with Voice so I would not think they are shipping Classics with Beta Voice. And yes there are a few bugs in the old Beta Voice. Don't know if they have been addressed in the version being shipped.

Thanks boB

What is the latest MNGP version?  I have MNGP 2149  5/26/17. MNGP updated for D2D for Voice without version change.

Hi John,

Good point about Beta vs Production FW.

I should have said,   that the only reference that I found for  Classic Voice FW,   was that  Linked reference.

The MN Solar site lists only the 2126 FW set.

Some of this is probably what you were referring to,   in the first Post.

Thanks for the correction,   enjoy  Lake DP.   Vic

Yeah even with ECN in place as boB has indicated the whole firmware versions with and with out Voice has been out of wack for a while now. What I am attempting to do is to get the firmware posted under Software on the Midnite web page to be current. And hopefully agree with what is posted on the Support page Knowledge base section for matching MNGP firmware versions with Classic version firmware. AFAIK the only links to Voice firmware is what has been posted in the forms as you have noted and nothing on the Software web page.

I think that is the latest MNGP code.  Will check with production to make sure.

Humm…. this SHOWS a MNGP 2186  but not matched to the Classic 2193. This page hasn't been updated for about a year.  So is this typo or is there really a MNGP 2186? 

Still no official posting on the web software page showing any updates other than 2126.
