Title: Twin mode in 1864 doesn't work?
Post by: Bunkie314 on October 12, 2020, 12:45:46 PM
So I updated my 2 beta kids from 1811 to the latest 1864 last night.  Did a factory reset per previous procedures and the twin mode does not work anymore.  There is a weird buzzing noise and click, it stops and then the same cycle repeats.

Anyone know whats up?

Where can I find 1811 firmware to roll back?

You should probably get in touch with Kyle at Midnite - open up a ticket .  They should have the old firmware.
If you don't get in touch with him let me know - I may have it on a different computer hard drive.
I notice in previous post someone reported issues with Twin and 1864 was supposed to have fixed it ?

Worked great on FW1811. I thought I would update since it's been a rather long time since I had.  I found 1811 in an old directory on my laptop and I'm thinking about rolling backwards to it. Followed the same procedure as I did long ago for the setup with the new FW. I guess 1864 has a bug or the setup procedure is different.  Thanks for the links.
