The Classic and Kid firmware has been removed from the MN Web site and has been replaced with an e-mail support message. Any reason for the change?

Also having trouble access the Videos Ryan made for the Local App.  It looks like all video links are broken for me. Any one else getting broken links?

yeah -  notice that firmware is missing now  - must be a recent change because I was looking on there recently at the firmware updates.
Do you need any of the firmwares ? I have most of them downloaded .

I wonder if the webmaster was working on the page and maybe put in the wrong link ?
But maybe they are getting ready to roll out the new Classic talking firmware.

Just looked at Midnite youtube page but don't see the video about Local Status app that you were talking about - but a lot of others on there .

So we have new firmware BUT we also have a new document control employee and she has decided firmware needs to be a controlled item. This is good as she will make sure documentation matches the firmware. Unfortunately this process got started right after I uploaded new firmware so I was asked to take it down for a couple days while the paper work is done. I have attached both the classic update and kid file here

John - what is the link to that video you were talking about for the Local Status App - the one that tells how to download and make graphs at 2 second intervals.
Not sure if that will work for me - I do leave Local Status app on all day but it often resets so not sure if it skips data when it does that.

Larry that 'dropped connection' is a real pain especially if you want the whole day on the graph..  I found that Grahams version for Android is far more stable... :D
I just use the LA for making changes.

Okay - I updated to new Classic Firmware
2133 MNGP 1/11/2017
2126 Classic  1/2/20117
2097  Network

It all went okay - I am going to start a new topic for this firmware since I have a question .

Larry there are 5 videos on the LA that Ryan made. #2 talks about the Data. Look for them under the Classic heading in the link below.
http://www.midnitesolar.com/videoDisplay.php

To get the 2 sec resolution you have to check all items in the what to graph section and then EXPORT that. That gives you all the data in a Excel readable file (CSV). I then make my graphs in Excel. You can choose whatever you want to plot if you know Excel.

Those constant reset we all see normally reconnect pretty fast even though it has the disconnect message on the screen if it reconnects in the background it continues to collect the data.

Sounds like MN solution to the disconnect is to build some type of interface box that can talk to all MN products including the B17 and will have a built in Web Server that you can access with any browser no mater what OS you are running. I hope it will have the ability to dump the 2 sec resolution data as it give a good view of what is happening where the 5min and 15min resolution can miss a lot of data.
