Only the 8i20 and possibly the 7I77 if its sserial remote firmware is older than R14 need updating > > I can give you remote access to my PCs. What tools do you prefer?

Or change the script to take firmware from default location.

However, sc9054 will not help with updating the remote sserial firmware. If you want to update the 8I20 firmware via windows I would use a usb-serial adapter and the uflbp utility. I do think its easier to do this via linuxcnc however (no funny serial cables so update in place with your existing setup) You can do this either by connecting the 8I20s to the 7I77s sserial expansion port (the 5I25 will very likely have sserial firmware > R33 and if not you can update it via mesaflash), or installing updated rmsvss6_8 firmware for the 5I23. I can make a up to date version of this today > On 08/09/2013 12:24 AM, Peter C.
