Apex Firmware Update - 4.12 Beta

[Wall_Tank]

What modifications are in the 4.12_1B12 Beta Update?

 

[Xcali1985]

Just updated to 4.12, way better speed. Testing to see if it takes care of my lag issues.

The more I think about it, the more I think my web server problems have to do with hitting the controller from multiple computers at the same/similar time. Not 100% sure but that seems probable for me.

Running into a glitch, was the same in 4.11 sometimes when I modify a ramp profile I change the values and hit submit and it doesn't save my changes it goes back to the previous ones. However, usually when I do it a second time it saves them.

You know what... That might be my problem also. On my iPhone I have 2 connection. One for my actual ip and the other is a domain name connected to my ip. I took one out... Will see if the web server will stop working anymore after this mod.

Will this release resolve the weekly, pull the usb power to reboot it due to losing connection? Please say yes

I am now completely locked out of my apex. I cannot access it via local or remote access only able to use the display module.

I was testing the dual login and I had my laptop logged in along with my work computer and it froze up.

Multiple restarts and I still am not able to access it.

Can't restore it just yet as I'm working the next couple days.

Btw it is directly connected to the router.

I will post updates if I figure it out without a hard reset.

I see a huge improvement already with only 1 login at a time from my iPhone. It's much faster and server still up. I login and out about 30 times no. Usually by now the server would have went down already.

From Curt's original post:

This release adds the following features:

- iphone application enhancements.
- web server enhancements.
- misc bug fixes.

Was able to restore access by unplugging the base unit from the EB8 and leaving it disconnected for about 10 minutes. Just hitting the reset on the display unit did not work.

Don't know if this is a bug or a freak incident, however, I again tested it with the dual login and requested information back to back on the laptops and it again froze the internal server. However, this time a reset via the Display Module worked. :hmm4:

The status page auto refreshes every few minutes, so if you were to leave it up on your home computer and access it via your iphone it locks up if info is requested either concurrently or very quickly. At least it seems that way.

Maybe a feature where it terminates one session when another is started causing the other user to log back in? So basically on login kill current access.....

Is there a new iPhone app coming out to take advantage of the enhancements?

-- Nevermind.. found it.

Just so people don't go searching frantically - the "new" app was released in Oct '11. There currently isn't a newer version of the Aquacontroller Apex app, which replaces the old AquaNotes app.

Russ is right. I have been using my old Apex app for a while. From the looks of it, is has the same functionality, with new look and feel.

Does the new firmware make the app show different items?

Since upgrading from the 4.11 to 4.12.B12 beta I ham experiencing wild fluctuations in my pH. A possible coincidence, but has anybody else experienced this issue with the latest beta??

 

[cm11599ps]

I really don't want to test this myself because I finally got my APEX working again last month after having a problem back in September.

What are the improvements for the iPhone? I already have the app released by Neptune.

 

[DBSAM]

Any estimate when this may come out of beta?

Thanks.

Got a totally new potential bug.

I am tried to change the trigger parameters on my ORP control today. No changes to any of the syntax. I only made a one digit change to the value. No matter what I do, in ie or Chrome, I get the error message:

\ Error: Valid keywords following If are Temp, pH, ORP, DO, Cond, Feed Cycle, SwitchX, PowerFail, Sun, or Moon //Error: line 2 - If ORP < 345 Then ON

I'm experiencing a bug on my Display Unit. When I go to the main menu the only option i have is self test. Then when I press down the rest of the menu shows up. Doesn't happen all the time, I will try to record when it does and show it.
