Scenaria Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Hi all, Nw to this forum. Found it along the way while searching for a reefkeeper Sid (need the v2) Long story short, I just added a lighting module and finished programming the controller last night. Realized when it didn't work it was because there a firmware mismatch. Going to send my v1 Sid in for a swap but wanted to try and get it running this weekend. If anyone has a v2 Sid I would be very grateful if I could borrow it for a day. I'd be happy to buy ya a 6 pack of your favorite beer. Jut need it to rollout the firmware update.

victoly Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Welcome to the forum! Sorry I can't personally be of more service to you, I'm an apex guy. Curious though, the firmware isn't user upgradeable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scenaria Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 It's definitely user upgrade able. The challenge is that my version 1 Sid (basically a USB interface) is an old model which does not support the newer v2 firmware. Seems dumb to me but apparently there is no way to update the Sid it'self to v2. DA is offering trade ins for the upgrade but I know that's going to take a few weeks. Was looking for a quick fix up and running while I wait for the new Sid Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Bio)³ Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Da claims it is too large to update. I did this for hydro, take a week to get the new one. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I've got one that came with a RKL. Are they the same unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Bio)³ Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I've got one that came with a RKL. Are they the same unit? Should be all the SID are the same, just needs to have new firmware. FWIW I sent on in got it updated, got it back and it downgraded itself about 45 min after use. Then got sstuck on downgrade for 2 days them updated itself automatically.... made no sense. But that whole system is wonky, I've seen it turn lights on at random times and almost nuke a tank with heaters, luckily we had an oversized chiller that was able to keep up a great fight until we saw what was happening when we got in that morning.

Scenaria Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 I've got one that came with a RKL. Are they the same unit? Is it gray in color? I think the v2 ones are gray... Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Yeah. It does say V2 on it. I just plugged it in and it has 2.08 on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scenaria Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Yeah. It does say V2 on it. I just plugged it in and it has 2.08 on it. Could I bribe you into loaning it so I can update my modules? I could bring all my hardware with should only take a few minutes Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
