Hyperion 0610i NET and DUO v1.5

Let us know when they have it released, thanks!

Just a followup - really pleased the way I caa watch and store charge data on batts using this v1.5 firmware and EOSView with my 0610i - charged a 3S lipo last night and it was neat watching the cells come into balance on EOSView.

One thing I've noticed - the USB port I used to install the PRGUSB software for connecting with the charger will not work with CastleLink software. I was trying to set up a MM and 2 CC Becs from the same USB and was having trouble - CC was telling me it couldn't find a CastleLink device while connected to either MM esc or a CC Bec.

I tried a different set of USB ports (laptop has a set in back and a set on the side - both are USB 2.0 protocol) and CastleLink worked like a champ. If you make this upgrade, you may want to be aware of this. Seems like the PRGUSB adapter installed for the firmware upgrade "takes over" that USB port or alters it in some way.

Anyone have a picture of the plugs/adapters all plugged into the charger? I am not sure if I got the right stuff. I got like 3 different things here.

Where is "device manager" located on the computer? I have the firmware downloaded and then moved it to my desktop. Is moving it to the desktop considered unziping it? Thanks

Click start, find 'my computer' in the list on the right. Highlight it, then right click it, then click properties in that list. A new dialog opens - in that click the hardware tab. You will find device manager listed first in that list.

No, moving it to the desktop is not unziping it. You need to run winzip (or something like it) to unzip the file. To check, highlight the file you moved and right click it. In the list that comes up click properties. At the top if it shows type of file as WinZip File, you will need to unzip it.

If you have Winzip installed, dbl click the file on your desktop - that will start the unzip process, tell it to extract file to your desktop.

Got it updated and thank you for the help. What is the biggest change to this new update? Now that I did it once it will be a piece of cake in the future. Thanks again!

Cheers for the tip. It's a nice update, I got a requested feature in there woo! (can balance without main discharge leads connected).

[tc3_racer_001]

yeah, and u can charge without main leads too, or can you? i thought that was hopeless when i first got mine as i had to make up another adaptor to charge 600mah lipos...

[Sammus]

Naw I don't think they let u charge. I think they should if your charging at like 0.5A or something, maybe next time.

Guys I am sorry but I have no idea how to update my Hyperion Duo. Is there anyone that can give me detailed instructions on how to do this? I have all the adapter plugs but sat down and tried to figure it out and just could not grasp it. I am running windows xp. I would really really like to update it. Any help? Thanks

You need to print this out and read carefully. Its pretty much a step by step instruction on how to connect things and update the firmware. It was written for 1.5, but applies to 1.6 as well.

Everything needed (software) can be found on hyperions site - look around forit, its plainly labeled. If you're uncomfortable doing this, ask the place where you bought your 0610i if they will do it for you (how much)? If you got it locally may not be a big deal, but if not, will require sending it in and waiting.

its not, but definately worth it. i got version 1.5 loaded into it and that was shipped in april, so i wouldnt be suprised if it already has 1.6 in it! but worth buying all the same.
