Firmware update

[dmclain]

I installed three classic 150 and two needed a firmware upgrade.  I upgraded one with no problem.  I then started the upgrade of the MNGP on the second one and started working on a wind chart on one of the others.  When I returned to the computer the windows command box was still up but was blank.  I assumed the MNGP updated.  I powered down the classic and on power up it shows the firmware for the MNGP is 1923.  I then tried to update the classic several times and was unable to communicate.  I tried a hardware reset with J1 and J4 per manual and could not get the flashing leds after reinstalling the pins.  I then tried a software reset using the left and right arrow keys.  The quick start screen came up and I selected solar and the default setting for the other items.  The data transfer started and froze when it reached 4360, 53.  I have tried this a couple of times and it freezes at the same spot each time.  The firmware  on the classic is 1341.

Update, I was able to fix my problem. I removed the MNGP from the problem classic and installed the MNGP from the classic that had been update.  I was then able to update the firmware on the classic.  I then reinstalled the MNGP that I had removed earlier.  I then selected solar and all of the default setting and it was able to write all of the data this time.  I then reinstalled the firmware update for the MNGP and everything is now working.  I love computer.

Uhmmm, so are you going to put in the 18XX versions or the 19XX versions to really be up to date?

Seems they updated the web page and dropped the word "Firmware"
I have 5+ to do at some time.
Let alone trying to find your posts or a post you were monitoring on this forum .
Also it would be NICE if that video was on You tube or download-able .. Since I find it ez to follow when I have instructions  right there now as well . 

This Im assuming is the VMM (Vulcan mind melt ) Production for Windows Will need Factory Restore after install
