one number shows box ID bc30067he

and when communicating with the vec via serial cable it shows bc30428

then you need 30428.

download the 30400-40499 and then use the 30428 file which is contained within the ZIP file.

Uh....if I recall correctly, you do have to load the Firmaware upgrading software onto your PC.....then you can use it to open the firmware update and upload to the VEC2.

1) I put mine off for months...then JD made me do it.

2) The instructions are pretty much step-by-step (if I recall correctly, again).

 

[Joseph Dell]

yup. RTFM from the ROE site. easy as pie.

if i use the master multiplug which has a short serial connector cable attached , i will lose power when swapping it over to the slave side of the vec.
looking at the rear of the vec where the wires are, can anyone confirm which wires have to be joined to regain the 12 volt supply?

thanks.

 

[nismobrown]

any ideas???

thanks.

 

[Mr Hemi Head]

The Master and Slave connectors are not removed, so power is supplied to both boards. Only the serial connector wiring needs to be relocated to the Slave to update that board.

thanks for the help but now i have another problem---

when trying to load the firmware update , in the firmware loader screen i can find the system but when i click the load firmware tab a new box opens up on top of the system loader box showing the files to load.i then click the save tab but i cannot go any further .
is it possible that there is a lock code in the vec 2
system?
