Controller Firmware Updates

Controller Firmware Updates

Sometimes you have to change the way those little computers inside Light-O-Rama products think. The magic happens in something we call firmware. If you hang around enough computer geeks you'll start slipping "firmware" into your conversations and really impress the neighbors. If you're just here looking for the USB Adapter "RS-485" Driver install link for Windows, click here.

 

Should I update my firmware? If everything is working with your controller, DO NOT UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE, especially near your show season. If a Light-O-Rama support professional suggests updating your firmware via help desk or phone support, please proceed.

 

A special note about downloading and Windows 10: If you are using the Windows 10 Edge browser you might not have a 'Save Target As...' option when right clicking a link. We recommend using another browser, including Internet Explorer. Open the Windows 10 search box, enter 'Internet Explorer', it will be shown as a 'Desktop app' and that's the one to pick. Return to the Light-O-Rama website and you can now use the mouse right click 'Save Target as...'

How do you download firmware from this website?

With most browsers, you can click to download. If it's not working, try Right Clicking the Download link and choosing Save Target As... Save the file to a location you can easily find.

Use the Light-O-Rama Hardware Utility to update the firmware on the appropriate device following the instructions in our help documentation.

PixCon16 Controller Board (RGB smart pixels-16 ports)

LOR PixCon 16
Please read before downloading any PixCon16 Firmware: The PixCon16 does NOT update via the Hardware Utility; it instead uses the Network Preferences program. See the PixCon16 manuals for more info. Be sure you are using the CORRECT firmware for your board. There are 2 different revisions of the board that require different firmware files, a "MKII" version and an "Original" version.
  • If your board has 'MKII' or 'ECO' on it (usually next to the word 'PixCon16', it is a "MKII" version.
  • If your board does not have MKII or ECO on it, it is an "Original" version
  • You can also check the version when configuring a PixCon16. Open the PixCon16 configuration utility, go to the PixCon16 you want to update, and go to the "Misc" tab. If the firmware version you see when configuring your PixCon16 begins with a "2" (ex: 2.0.13) it is a "MKII" version. If the firmware version you see when configuring your PixCon16 begins with a "1" (ex: 1.4.14) it is an "Original" version.
The file you should use is also dependent on what software you are configuring the PixCon16 on. If you are a LOR user and are using version 5.6.2 or higher, or are a non-LOR user, use the firmware files that end in .hex. If you are a LOR user and are using version 5.6.0 or lower, use the firmware files that end in .nhx. So, if you are using 5.6.2 and have a "MKII" version, you would use the "PixCon16 MKII 2.X.XX Firmware (.hex)" the first option in the list. Be careful, because if you apply the wrong firmware to a board, the board will be bricked and you will need to recover it. If your PixCon16 stops working after an update, please open a ticket on our help desk.
