MGM9032 PC Issue

[jhautz]

Would it even be upgradable to the type capable of being programmed by USB? I thought that there was a hardware change when they went to the USB programable versions.

I had a MGM that was not programable by USB. It was fine IMO. I changed the programaing on my MGMs more often by transmitter programaing anyway. When making changes in the field or at the track I dont have a PC, and once you do it once or twice its rather easy to do anyway.

Not sure really who is right and wrong here. I know that RCM trys not to carry to large of an inventory of controllers or motors (or anything for that matter) just because as the next greatest thing comes allong, the last greatest thing tends to get stale on the shelves. The 9032 MGM is probably not one of the more popular ones which is why the stock was still of the non USB style. This change to USB programablilty isnt really from that long ago so I can see how there would easily still be stock of non usb type. I dont really think its feasable to always have the stock be the very latest version of something that updates as frequently as the software on the MGMs.

On the other hand... I can also see why you would want the latest and greatest. Who wouldnt?


BTW... I doubt that the post will get deleted.
