Thanks for the info (& thanks for the response to my other post re not needing the fan in 2wd). I've read a few posts on here from guys saying that downloading firmware has knackered their Xcelorin speedos, so having not even used mine yet I'm a bit reluctant to do it!! Should I be concerned?

[Southwell]

I don't see why you should be concerned, all of my speedos were upgraded today and all took the new firmware with no issues. The software is now a new programme, V2, and should be a lot better. When plugging in the speedo make sure the software says the ESC is connected and if you are concerned just keep an eye on it for a couple of mins and make sure it doesn't drop out before you d the upgrade, ive not that ive had that problem though.
I used the new software today in 2wd and it makes the speedo feel much nicer and has sorted out any of my previous issues.

[The Doctor]

Super, thanks for the reply Ian. You know how it is when you read stuff like that on a forum...

[i4n]

Cheers for the heads up Ian, did both of mine today with no problems at all.

[Spencer Mulcahy]

I have tried but failed the software is in my documents but when I try to install it my computer blocks the install so I cant update firmware if that makes sence. I think it is my anti virus from AVG but I cant turn it off so I will keep it as it is unless one of you computer people can help cheers.

Spen.

[Southwell]

You cant install the programme or the firmware? You upgrade the firmware from inside the programme.

[Spencer Mulcahy]

Sorry Ian I am computer iliterate I downloaded the program from the Losi websit which went into my docs as an icon. When I click on update firmware on the losi program and type the file name it is not there (D01012806.LSC) I think that it need installing from my docs it starts installing from the wizzard but my antivirus flashes up and stops it loading. I have uninstalled the old program as it says the new program is there as when I clickon about it is all there as it is supposed to be.

[Coastal]

Super, thanks for the reply Ian. You know how it is when you read stuff like that on a forum...

No - it was a real problem that happened to an experienced racer, I started racing in 1978!
I would not post if it was not a genuine occurance, the fact that it also happened to another user at my club, totally independently, gave me reason to post.

Just downloaded the new software and the new firmware, will try the new firmware upload during the week and if everything goes OK will post to that fact

[simon]

Hi,
i have just bought the losi esc with the 6.5 motor,which firmware do i update to my esc?

Cheers simon

[Southwell]

the dec 08 one. You need the software and firmware. The CD in the box is only to install the usb adaptor, do NOT install the software on the CD.

[Southwell]

You just need to double click the firmware file.

Spen.

I think you will have to temporary disable avg to get it to install. You can do this by opening the AVG user interface and double clicking the resident shield option and then unchecking the 'Resident Shield active' box. Then click save.

Install the software and then follow the above and ensure the tick is put back in the box for the 'resident shield active'.

I usually only do this if I've disconnected from the internet first.

Come and see me on Sunday and i'll update it for you

[Spencer Mulcahy]

I will try what Zipper has said and if that doesnt work i will see you on sunday cheers Brian. I will still need to get the program onto my computer so that I can change settings as you will only be installing it onto the speedo wont you Brian?

[Southwell]

If you have a laptop get someone to install it on there?
If only a computer after setup it can be generically setup with base settings.

[tyreman]

I will try what Zipper has said and if that doesnt work i will see you on sunday cheers Brian. I will still need to get the program onto my computer so that I can change settings as you will only be installing it onto the speedo wont you Brian?

To be honest I don't change my settings at all now they have been the same since Southport National, 2 weeks after I changed over to it.

[Coastal]

Well uploaded the new firmware with no problems today:D
So I thoroughly recommend everyone to download version 2 of the computer software, as this seems to have fixed the firmware update problem that happened with version 1

Good to hear. :thumbsup:

[The Doctor]

Hi guys,

Just read through the instructions from the Losi website. As I understand:

Remove Setup v1
Download Setup v2 & install onto PC
Download new firmware (v2.8 Dec 08)
Click "update Firmware" in the Xcelorin setup programme & select the appropriate file.

Is that right?

When I try to install Setup v2 onto my PC I get some error messages saying that there is a problem copying some files:
mfc42.dll
CP210xManufacturing.dll
Losi.exe

Unless I select "Ignore" to these error messages I can't get the new Setup v2 to install.

Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

[Southwell]

restart pc and re download the setup.

[The Doctor]

Great, I've now got Setup v2. The firmware file downloads as "D010128.LSC" but the instructions refer to "D01012806.LSC". Is that right?

[Coastal]

Great, I've now got Setup v2. The firmware file downloads as "D010128.LSC" but the instructions refer to "D01012806.LSC". Is that right?

Yes, use the downloaded firmware D010128.LSC

Hi,
I have installed the software,and the usb goes green etc,but when i try to find the firmware file,which i put on my desktop and then in my documents,when i go to look in these,the file is not there??

[tyreman]

Hi,

Try typing *.lsc then enter it should show the file

[simon]

Hi, thanks you that worked.......but then when it was downloading the firmware,at 70%downloaded a reading error sighn came up...i clicked ok....and all the boxs went blank??

[Spencer Mulcahy]

I have sorted it now chaps thanks for all the help. I think what had happened is I downloaded the wrong thing from the Losi site, I downloaded the first on the list this is where my problem was when I downloaded the last on the list it worked fine cheers again. Oh is it normal for the blue light to go off on the speedo(when conected to the usb) as it went off on mine after being on all the time when using the old softwear.

[dibble34]

Hi all, really need some help with my combo. Just upgraded the software which seemed to go ok. I have teh acoms 2.4 GHZ wheel. I tried to calibrate it and all seemed to go ok, however whenever i try and reverse, the red light just comes on on the ESC. Forward is fine, i had chosen forward & reverse in setup, although i am now relying on the card as the usb adaptor has given up on me! :bored:I tried a spare 27mhz set i have, but still now joy. Any ideas?

[Southwell]

Do reset to factory defaults on the software first, then setup.

[dibble34]

Hi

Did all that, reset to factory defaults, then read the card then sent settings etc. Other problem is i now can't get into it via usb as the adaptor has broken, no lights come on and it just gets hot when i plug it into the usb cable! Luckily it is still under warranty, just tried my 27mhz again and the red light does come on too, when i choose reverse, but nothing happens. Did set it up again, but no joy .Have tried several times with the card to choose forward/reverse. really frustrating:mad:

Any other ideas?

[Southwell]

No sorry, i would contact Horizon. You do plug it in without the cells plugged in dont you, the usb adaptor i mean.

[dibble34]

yeah, it seems to get enough power from the laptop and that is what is says to do in the manual. Just died on me!

[Southwell]

Very strange, contact Horizon and they will help you out. If you are at any meetings iam at around Hampshire i can set it up for you if you have problems.

[dibble34]

cheers mate, i only go to the Titchfield off road club, but if you end up there way one day and i am still having problems i will hold you to that:)

[Southwell]

Im planning on coming down some time soon. ;)

[dibble34]

nice one, tis a good track i think. Although with no reverse my lack of skill may be a bit too obvious:lol:

[simon]

Hi,
Im showing version 2 and D.01.0128 in the esc soft ware...am i running the latest firmware........as i think i have just installed the latest firmware??

That's the one.

Just upgraded my brand new unit to that 20 mins ago. Worked like a charm.

[simon]

Thats great,thanks............one other thing,do you know if you can have strong drag brakes then hardly any normal braking?...

[Cassp0nk]

Thats great,thanks............one other thing,do you know if you can have strong drag brakes then hardly any normal braking?...

Dunno, why not just try it? But from looking at it, I don't think they let you have more than 30%?

If you wade through the upgrade instuctions from losi, they mention that they recommend setting the brake percentage to 70-80% now and using the radio to trim it down. Its not entirely clear from what he says, but I think he's saying that by doing that, it makes it much quicker to control the brake amount by using the radio trim. Makes sense.

[Reevsey]

Have run mine today with the V2 update in my 2wd and what an improvement!!

Anyone running anything different on settings?

[JackWood]

Hi,

I have installed V2.0 software off the website, but I cannot find the drivers for the USB connector.

The light on the USB adaptor does not go green. It stays red.

Am I doing something wrong?

Jack

[JackWood]

Now I am not even getting a "New Hardware Device Connected" pop-up.

Still the red light on the USB Adaptor, but no apparant communication with the V2.0 software.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Jack

[discostu]

turn your spy ware off compleatly and re install

[JackWood]

Windows cannot access the specified drevice, path or file You may not have the appropriate permissions.

losi/drivers/Preinstaller.exe

If I click OK, it still installs, but I get no communication with the USB Adaptor.

I disabled AVG and ZoneAlarm and even downloaded the files again.

Help!!

[discostu]

yeah i had the same with avg got pissed off with it doing this to the drivers on a number of instals so i removed it compleatly i could tell you how to get it to allow connection.
sorry

[JackWood]

Thanks for the help.

Anyone else got any ideas?

[Southwell]

You need to install the usb adaptor from the CD, the driver is on there. If you no longer get the new hardware popup then you need to go through device manager.

[JackWood]

Thanks.

I'll try that tonight.

[Cassp0nk]

I think you may have to uninstall AVG. If you switch to avast it doesn't conflict.

[JackWood]

Cass, when you updated your firmware, did you install or even load the CD first, and then install V2.0?

Or did you just download and install V2.0 and away you went?

Surely AVG doesn't need to be completely removed?

[JackWood]

OK, so I uninstalled AVG and reloaded everything and I have got the V2.0 software and the latest firmware. Thank you all for the info about ditching AVG to get it working.

The problem I have now is that the Reverse function is not working at all.

Before the update it worked perfectly. No issues at all. But now even after calibrating it with the transmitter (just a basic Futaba system) the reverse function does not seem to want to work. Very very occasionaly it will go into reverse when the lever is pulled back, but probably only once in every 10-15 pulls on the lever.

When you pull the lever back the rad LED flashes on the ESC to show that it is recieveing a signal, and the blua and yellow is lit all the time to show that reverse mode is selected, it just doesn't want to go into reverse every time you pull back on the stick.

Please help, again.

Thanks in advance.

Jack

Is there anybody who is going to the petit race over this coming weekend that could upgrade my xcelorin speedo to version 2 software please. I use a company laptop and they won't allow me to load up the support tool :cry:

Just guessing here, but did you follow the upgrade instructions and send the reset through to the controller? Also you shouldn't install on top of a previous installation, you should remove that first. So no don't use the driver disk.

[stegger]

Yep ill be there with my laptop.
Good man, do i ask for a mr SOUTHWELL or Mr ????:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Looks for someone in a Losi or Spektrum top, im the guy with hair that hasn't been cut in 4 months ;)

[JackWood]

Got the software working OK. Had to get the USB drivers off the disk though. Did do a fresh install. Just think it got its knickers in a twist with AVG etc

All that works now.

However, if I upgrade to 128 I get no consistent reverse, but everything else works well. Tried callibrating with the transmitter over 10 times, and still no joy.

If I swap back to 125 firmware everything works fine again, like it did before. As soon as I go up to 128 I lose the reverse. Sometimes it comes on if you bang the stick back, but most of the time it just goes to brake.

I think it must be to do with the breaking modifications they made with this firmware, and it is like there is now not enough stick travel to get it to reverse. I don't know.

I am back running 125 for now while I'm bashing around, but the spike voltage cut-out is annoying.

[tyreman]

If you can't find Ian I will be there as well.

[Cassp0nk]

Right, but did you reset the setting in the way the upgrade instruction pdf tells you to? The old setting for the old version are incompatible with the new ones so you have to blank it and reset it all up.

Just to let everyone know....

Install procedure:

Download V2 of software + the firmware
Install programme (if you have AVG disable real time scanning)
Plug in USB adaptor, it should install itself
UNPLUG batteries!
Open programme
Make sure both lights are green in the programme
Click update firmware
Locate file, if you cant find it put *.lsc in and it should pop up
Let programme update speedo
Click commands and then reset to factory defaults
Now click read settings
Now setup as you want

If you want speedo setups just ask and ill post mine.

I will put this in the first post too.

I have now tested mine in Windows 7 (the replacement for Vista) and it works perfectly.

[JackWood]

Right, but did you reset the setting in the way the upgrade instruction pdf tells you to? The old setting for the old version are incompatible with the new ones so you have to blank it and reset it all up.

All they mention in the pdf is the breaking, not the reverse function. They are talking about re-calibration of the brake percentages, and using the end stop in the transmitter to trim the amount of breaking.

This is a different issue altogether.

[The Doctor]

Just wanted to confirm that I upgraded to v2 this evening without a hitch. The mistake I had previously made was uninstalling the USB driver at the same time as the V1 software.

One difference I have noticed since upgrading to v2 is that to switch between the (now) 5 profiles on the speedo using the setup button, you must have the speedo switched ON and the transmitter switched OFF, rather than both switched ON as stated in the instruction manual. With v1 both the transmitter and the speedo had to be switched ON to change between profiles with the setup button.

Anyone else noticed this?

Paul.

Well not that mine is working right, but I am sure I was changing profiles with the transmitter turned on. Will check in a bit.

[stegger]

Southwell thanks for doing the upgrade on the speedo over the weekend.

Just to echo the above Ian,
Thanks for helping:thumbsup:
As a newbe in this racing m'larky i'm not quite up to speed on car setups, but ill get there..........eventually! lol.

[Southwell]

Cool, glad you like the combo, i was very impressed with your car control on a tricky track like that, even more impressed after you said you have only been racing for a year and that being your first time on a big carpet track, well done. :thumbsup:

Stegger: You will really like it, you shouldn't have to adjust anything, it's setup for Lipo and 2.4 already, the profile settings are what i run with and are the best i have found so far, for me of corse. Hope you enjoy it.

The new speedo firmware is really good, makes it much better on the brakes and has sorted out any previous issues that have been experienced. All i changed on the weekend was my brakes to 30% and left the rest as my standard settings.

Any questions just ask.

[Cassp0nk]

Well not that mine is working right, but I am sure I was changing profiles with the transmitter turned on. Will check in a bit.

Checked last night and transmitter on or off makes no odds on my controller when doing the settings. It doesn't work if I've used the transmitter before trying to change the settings though.

That's interesting, upgraded and everything running fine, the best it has been. Looked to try and make sure I was on stock profile - but couldn't change the profile, had blue & red lights only and it wouldn't change.
Perhaps that is why !

wasn't too bothered though because the setting I was on was almost perfect!

I might be wrong but I think the reverse option has changed on version 2.
It is reverse with pause, I think that means you come off power, throttle stick in neutral, puase, then into reverse. If you do not go forward or not go into neutral. reverse will not work, you just get brakes.

All ESC used to be like when they first came out many, many years ago.

We've both tried that.

I spoke to Horizon today and they said to send the controller in.

Also spoke to Marc at M-K-Racing who sold them to us and he said one of the factory drivers had commented that reverse had been taken away this firmware as its better for racing. Anyway Marc is checking with the horizon expert tomorrow.

In the meantime, is anyone able to reverse with firmware 1.29?

[JackWood]

Thanks for that update Cassp0nk. I had not had a reply from Marc today regarding this, nad have still had no reply from Horizon Tech Support (US) about it either.

Just worried about these temps now. Ordered an IR temp device from Maplins. Should be here in a couple of days.

[Cassp0nk]

Yeah I just picked up the phone. Always amazed at people thinking they will get answers to emails, but maybe I'm jaded! I know Marc had read yours though as we discussed that both had same problem.

[JackWood]

Well it looks like we're getting somewhere with the mysterious reverse glitch.

[JackWood]

Well we have a response:

"Version 28 and lack of reverse function update.

From testing it appears that the file is corupt that is available on the download page.

A confirmation test will be finished tomorrow morning and will have the file replaced on the download page. I will add a line indicating it has been updated AND will also post that it has been updated.

Sorry the the confusion and inconvience this has caused. http://www.rctech.net/forum/classic_images/smilies/wink.gif"

Good news. At least we have a fix coming.

I know this thread has been going for a while but hey here goes again. I have just tried to download the most recent firmware..on my laptop (vista) and using 'save target as' place the download in my documents file. When i go back in to the esc/losi to update firmware i cannot even find it. What am i doing wrong? I hate the excelorin and wished i had not wasted my money:thumbdown:. worst spend ever but am stuck with it. sorry for the negativity but this one thing is spoiling what is supposed to be an enjoyable recreation. It has been sent back and tried with no problems. So why does it still glitch. The new firmware supposedly sorts this.
I am probably being stupid:confused: but looking at the amount of posts on this thread I am not the only one suffering to the evil ways of excelorin!

[bald eagle]

Not sure what your doing wrong tbh. Try putting the firmware file on your desktop? Not sure if it makes a difference where you put it to be honest.....but thats where i put all my speedo stuff, no porblems. let us know how you get on.

Can you see the file in file explorer?

FWIW I had all those reverse probs but now seems to be working great, and I like that I can hook up to my laptop to tweak. Not great if you aren't all that computer literate I guess, but then there is that programming card too.

[B4 Sloth]

no cannot see bugger all.
Can u take me through step by step?? Pm at all?

[Zipper]

As dibble34 said, when trying to load the new firmware first direct to the folder you downloaded it to, then literally type *.lsc in the file box and press enter.

This should show every file in the folder you are browsing and that way you should be able to load the new firmware.

Once updated, ensure you reset to factory settings. Then adjust setting to suit!

[Southwell]

Just go to the folder, type in the first letter of the file in name and it will come up.

[B4 Sloth]

done that, transfers 100% then comes up with read error 2010 in an ok box! what do i do then?

Go to commands and select reset to factory default
click ok
select read settings

and your software version will change to version 28, and you are redy to select your new settings.

Dont forget to reset to factory defaults before setting, as Brian said.

just seen on the commands tab that you can sort profiles 4 and 5. Is this the place to start playing with it all now then?
