    Default UltraSound 2.0 After upgrade..

    Ok guys, here is what I have found..so far

    For the most part battery issue seems solved..if you pop the last battery in the board boots..

    Blade lockup flash is as bright as without now..

    Switch issue..not fixed at all.

    The standard momentary..cant even use decently after programming
    The lighted ones are as bad as the standard ones

    The guarded style.. work pretty good but still have the occasional glitch
    The tactiles work fine still (switches 16 and 17)

    When using the standard or lighted ones.. They will start up but then after you have hit blade lockup once or twice they will either Reboot or power off weird (in which case you need to cycle the batts a few times)

    In my opinion any and all momentary switches should work and I will keep fighting to get this fixed. For now the remaining stock will be sold the way they are though.

    Question

    how's the blade flicker?
    If I recall correctly, it was really quite dim before, but that was one of the things that was supposed to be corrected...

    This week. I only have about 30 to sell and I need to make sure I take care of everyone I owe them to first.

    Will there be a "one board per customer" thing so we can get a better shot at one?

    That sucks about the switch Tim, that was my biggest gripe about those boards....I could live without the flickering blade settings and the other problems that the upgrade was supposed to fix.

    Got a question? Start Here. Have you tried the Thread Index yet? Most questions can be answered there.

    Well now thats unhappy news eh?

    The switch problem was the larger issue for me too and I've even been holding off building some sabers til the upgrade came back because of it. I agree "any and all momentary switches should work" especially the commonly used saber switches sold at TCSS and while I do know there were threads on how to kludge a tactile inside the standard switches, I waited hoping that the upgrade would make that unnecessary. I don't mind waiting patiently for the fix but waiting only to have the problem NOT corrected is disappointing I must admit and I'm sure I'm not alone in that disappointment.

    :S

    hrm, that is disappointing, It's good that the problems with flicker and clash were fixed but IMO those were secondary to the problems with switches and batteries which it seems only batteries got fixed.

    I have no problem rebuilding guarded moms with tactile's but having the anti-vandal switches be unusable is kind of annoying.
