Software Updates

If updating both Command and Firing Modules, please make sure to update your Firing Modules before running the Command Module update.

DISCLOSURE: Before installing any updates, the Command Module should be power-cycled (powered off) and allow 5 seconds before powering it back on. This will ensure the CM sees the new update.

Firing Module

Version 1.4 Released 02/2023

********************************
FM24 FIRING MODULE – Version 1.4
********************************

  • FEATURE UPDATE: Continuity coloration on the FM has changed. If NO show is loaded, continuity remains the same, blue denotes no matches found, purple denotes matches connected. When a show IS loaded, blue denotes a match in the choreography is missing, purple denotes all matches detected.
  • Changed the Continuity ‘Blue’ to more of a ‘Cyan’ for easier viewing at distance at night.
  • The membrane on the FM is now disabled during a Firmware update. This should prevent users from accidentally interrupting the process.
  • OPN firmware updates now return the user to the main screen on the FM after it has completed, rather than staying at 100% and requiring a manual restart.
  • FEATURE UPDATE: Powering down the unit now requires the power button to be held for 3 seconds. A screen notification will inform the user when it is safe to let go. This is to address issues where the modules were too easy to turn off in certain circumstances.
  • FEATURE ADDED: See Command Module 1.4 Update notes for the new Group Firing feature.
  • Fixed a potential bug that could have prevent SMPTE and INTERNAL scripts from firing together under the right circumstances.
  • Increased accuracy of the synchronization system during noisy traffic conditions.
  • FEATURE ADD: On the FM, a new menu option is available, Match Type. This allows the user to switch an FM from the normal firing system used for e-matches (FAST matches) to a different firing system used for long-term matches (LONG matches) akin to Talon style matches used for Visco fuse. This setting is remembered between power-on/off cycles.
Instructions to update your Firelinx Firing Module
  1. Check which software version your mods have. If it’s a lower version from the file shown below, you’ll need to update your Firing Modules. Check which version you have by powering on your modules and press the DOWN arrow; the software version will appear on the screen.
  2. If you need to update, download the zip file by clicking the download button below. Once you unzip the file, a BIN file will open. Drag the FM BIN file onto a USB drive. If you’re updating your Firing Modules and Command Module, please make sure to only have ONE update on the USB drive at a time.
  3. Power on all Firing Modules and the Command Module. Join all Firing Modules to the Command Module to run the update.
  4. Insert the USB drive containing the FM SW update into the Command Module’s USB port. Click on MENU > press 7 on the Numpad > press ENTER – the CM will check for updates. Follow the steps on the screen. Once the FMs update occurs, the FMs will power off completely; leave them powered off if you have a CM update to run.
  5. Power on and check that the software version on all your Firing Modules reflects the SW Version name in the file you downloaded.

Command Module

Version 1.4 Released02/2023

*************************************
CM64 COMMAND MODULE – Version 1.4
*************************************

  • Fixed some graphical inconsistencies in the Manual firing page when moving between modules using the ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ buttons.
  • FEATURE UPDATE: Powering down the unit now requires the power button to be held for 3 seconds. A screen notification will inform the user when it is safe to let go. This is to address issues where the modules were too easy to turn off in certain circumstances.
  • Fixed an issue on the Module status page, where entering a module number that does not exist could cause the system to become unstable.
  • Fixed an issue when attempting to perform multiple different firmware updates at once. The CM can now perform several updates after one another without error. Before, attempting to update an FM, then updating an OPN would require a power-cycle to the CM. This is no longer required.
  • Fixed a potential problem in the Manual Firing page where a key sequence could cause the CM to stop being responsive.
  • FEATURE ADDED: The 1.4 version of the CM and the FM now support Group Firing. This allows the user to assign any module(s) to a group (up to 63 unique groups possible) to fire their channels simultaneously without needing to write a script for it. Any number of modules can be assigned to the same group. A new firing page, Group Firing, has been added to the CM to support this. Please review the user’s manual for more information on how to use Group Firing.
  • Fixed an issue in the Disables/Caliber screen where not having any disables could cause the Disables/Caliber pages to be displayed inadvertently.
  • Added support for the Double-Shot firing module.
