AI Hydra 52 (non HD) Firmware Update Issues

[Dr. Reef]

Last person I sent 2.20 to it worked for him but the screen on the bottom was scrambled.
Please post back your experience.
For what its worth hes the only one with issue on the 2.20 version rest everyone had 100% success.

@Dr. Reef my controller is finally out of firmware update mode, but now I can't seem to access the menu, any suggestions?

 

[Dr. Reef]

Some folks have reported those issues and last guy did the upgrade to the latest firmware and it all started working fine for him. Can you try that?

Dr Reef, never mind on the 2.2 software. i kept looking through the ai site and found this link

https://support.aquaillumination.com/hc/en-us/articles/223615227-New-Controller-Firmware-v2-68

this file name is different is different then every other time i found the "update" file. i downloaded this file (new-controller_2.68.0.bin ) , uploaded to controller and everything worked.

Dr. Reef, can you email me the same file? I'm having an issue where I downloaded the new firmware and now my screen on my controller stays stuck on Firmware Update.
Email is [email protected].

Hi Guys,
I’m new to the forum and found this thread by googling my issue with AI original controller. I tried to update the firmware through the AI site
I deleted current then added the update and its stuck on the firmware update screen.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Mine is the touch only no knob on the controller. If you don’t mind sending me the file I’ll download and try it too.

Thanks in advance!!

Most people had success with it some said it scrambled the bottom of screen but after this firmware goto newest and things seem to work fine for them.
Let me know

[Dr. Reef]

Glad it worked
