Upload to F16V3 ver. b022
« on: March 25, 2019, 10:36:24 PM »
I am not sure if this is a bug or not but here is what I am seeing. I am trying to upload my controller information from Xlights to an F16V3 controlled using firmware vb022. I am pretty sure that the upload function worked differently before I updated both the F16 and XLights but I could be totally wrong here. I have reformatted my show for a demo and when I upload the new configuration from XLights it doesn't appear to upload correctly. It doesn't look like it is updating the model names on the ports, but it did update the Universe and pixel counts for the used port connections. It looks like it didn't remove any of the existing data on the other ports? This causes some issues that "look" like they are errors but I don't think they will actually affect anything. Does the upload only upload used ports and leave the others alone instead of "blanking" them out?

The upload only will overwrite information if it is putting new things there.  It doesn't blank out anything that you have manually entered, or uploaded from a previous configuration.  My understanding is that this is intentional, so that if you have manually set something up because it's one of those few cases that can't be uploaded from xlights, you aren't overwriting it if you upload other things.

OK, that makes sense!
Thanks
