Just a suggestion, why not name the app and firmware with different names? Maybe the app is Reachview and the fw is RSWare or M2Ware or PlusWare or MWare. So users will know that a new release is for the controller or for the units.

my current version is 2.24.0 and I can’t update it properly because I get an error. I could only do it by flashing

#6

Could you please try either of these methods to update to v2.24.2.

Then try enabling the dev update from there. It should help.

#7

I have used this option to update the RS2 and M2: <reach_ip>: 5000
thanks

#8

This is definitely coming. We didn’t want to rush this until ReachView 3 reached a stable release.

Hi
any idea how much time for this update ?

The updater pass the Test WIFI Time sync but now is running reachview update
thx
Francesco

I have been trying to update t 2.25.1
The update started on 2 occasions and downloaded the firmware. But after rebooting the reachview app still shows 2.24

The other thing is that it is really difficult to connect both to the wifi with the recievers as well as to the smartphone. Can someone please assist me on that. I did update my firmware to 2.24 earlier last week on my own. Am using Reach RS+ receivers

#11

Finally updated one receiver by switching off the receiver after the installation instead of rebooting from the app on the smartphone. Don’t know if that was just coincidental.

ONE more problem. My other receiver has all 3 lights flushing for almost an hour now and am failing to switch it off!

3 reports on this firmware:

  • Not always connecting to wifi. On the previous firmware the RS2 would connect in 99.9% of startups, but with 2.25.1 this seems to be lower than 50% on first startup. Upon hard restart of the unit it always connects to the wifi. Happens on all my 4 units.
  • The ID-blink does not blink when commandeered the first time. After 1-2 attempts, it does blink. If I then wait 20-30 minutes, it will have the same symptom again.
  • Sometimes, I get a blank dark-blue screen when entering into RV2 from the app. Just sits there. Restart of the unit seems to be only remedy.

Hi, Christian!

Could you please generate a Full System Report on two units from v2.25.1-dev and share them with me in PM for a closer look?

#15

After they fail to connect?

#16

If it’s possible, yes

#17

Petros,

Good to know you managed to update your receivers!

Let’s continue the troubleshooting of this issue in this thread to avoid doubling.

#18

Hi Francesco,

Please check your Wi-Fi connection. You can try moving your receiver closer to the router. If that doesn’t solve the issue, please, check the updating process with another Wi-Fi network.

#23

Already updated to 2.25.1 dev and I got this problems:

  • Blank dark-blue screen when entering into ReachView 2 , tryed to reboot but nothing happens, I have to open reachview 3 and then thru that app I’m able to use reachview 2.
    -I was not able to get Fixed connection after the firmware update, neither RTK using LoRa and NTRIP (emlid caster & youcors servers).
    -I’m currently flashing my base and rover back to 2.24.2 Hoping this will solve these two problems, !!!

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for reporting this!

We’ll try to reproduce that.

We’ve been already working on the fix for this behavior and will release it in one of the nearest firmware updates.

I also get this a lot!
