I am trying to get to grips with my lacuna MK IV. I have had it for just over a year now and have suffered from all the problems that others seem to have had with this model. Mainly because I only use it infrequently. I have just deep cycled the batteries a few times and re loaded the datasets and the thing is now more stable.

I was wanting to check the firmware version to see if I have the latest but the link on the Lacuna site does not work. Mine on start up says it is TX2.0.2

If mine does not have the latest firmware does anyone have a copy of the latest that they could let me have.

Also does anyone have a data set that is better for thor, before I try and update a dataset using the tools posted elsewhere.

Happy New Year to everyone

Hi ABA,

Thanks for the reply, I have the latest copy of the dataset and have since modified it for thor but not yet tested it.

However the main thing that I was looking for was a copy of the firmware. There are two links on the site the one below that takes you back to the page with the datasets (What you downloaded) Then at the bottom of the page with the datasets is the link to the firmware which is broken. (See below)

FIRMWARE
The satmeter is an intelligent device that uses a Programmable Interface Controller I.C. or PIC chip. The PIC is loaded with a program which governs the behaviour of the meter. This program is referred to as "Firmware" because it is a software program that is essential to a hardware device.

The firmware of the satmeter III or IV can be upgraded by the owner of the meter, with the Satloader program. Instead of loading in a .sat data file, you load in a .hex file.

Download the latest Firmware here.



SatMeter 3 Firmware Current November 2007

I have emailed Lacuna for help but have not yet had a reply.

So I ask again has anyone got a copy of the Firmware
