AirNav RadarBox 2007 - Version 1.2 (Patch Beta 2) Available for Download

[DaveG]

okay uninstalled and they installed again as before as "USB Serial Converter"

Hardware still not connecting.

driver details still FTDI Ltd 2.00.00

Extra:  looking at the driver details all the driver files are being used from system32\drivers & system32\  not from the drivers folder in airnav folder.

AirNav,

If these chaps do not have/cannot install the USB driver, does this make it impossible to upgrade the Firmware?

If they have not updated the Firmware, then surely the original CD USB driver will work - at least to allow them to upgrade the Firmware?

[DaveG]

Original CD driver produce same results, that being USB Serial Converter and no hardware connection.

Dave thanx, I reinstalled the drivers with have disk... and they are installed properly now. To be honest they most likely were properly installed a few attemps back, but I have been trying so much options and roll backs that somewhere along the line I made a mistake. The problem is however not solved. So I keep on looking for answers...

Dave,

Maybe you can rename the drivers in the system32 folder to stop them being found? (better that deleting them!)

[DaveG]

Could the Firmware update have failed? and its not any firmware version now!!!!  anyway to test?

Will try that Allocator, back soon

[doro]

1- Completely uninstall the old drivers (Control Panel, AirNav RadarBox, Properties, Uninstall Drivers) .
2- Unplug and plug again the USB cable and when asking for drivers point to the new ones (double check this)

Done and checked, the hardware is connecting, the green square in the software says so. But there is no data.

DaveG:

OK, apologies. Lets try the following as we are in uncharted territory and getting too many PMS and messages and losing track of things.

What may (important!) have happened is during your first try to update to the new version you did not point to the latest drivers by mistake but you ran the firmware. As the firmware has updated the drivers are not syncing.

Can you therefore update the firmware (only) to 1.1 using the older patch? What happens does it allow it, if so then unistall the drivers and unplug and plug in again and does it recognise it as RadarBox after trying either the older drivers or the ones in the last patch.

Doro which driver version you using?

[DaveG]

okay will do.   Allocator, that failed it just replaced then, must be pulled from a cab file

[AirNav Support]

DaveG,

Try what Allocator is saying, but plug in the RadarBox to another USB port which its never been tried on before. This should get windows to think its a totally new device ignoring any drivers its had in the past.

Driver: 6/27/2007 2.2.4.0

"Can you therefore update the firmware (only) to 1.1 using the older patch?" I did this and it worked. From that point on the Upgrade shows  
Version 1.01.0 (0.91 before)
Updating Version 1.01.2
But somehow I have the feeling this step is not completed. How can we verify this?

[AirNav Support]

Doro:

If your driver is that now and the fimware is showing that 1.01.2 then you should be good to go. Just in case restart the pc, unplug and plug RadarBox back in and then start RadarBox 2007. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Doro,

That's all it did with me too.  I think that you have updated the Firmware OK - but it would be really nice to actually know!!!!

AirNav, there MUST be a way to seeing what version the Firmware is, even if it's a DOS command line exe file.

[DaveG]

DaveG,

Okay shall try that.

The other part you asked me to try failed.  Firmware 1.1 will not do anything as it says Device cant be found, which is the same as 1.2 firmware update.

I have a feeling it screwed the firmware!!!!

trying above now brb

[doro]

Almost "fimware is showing that 1.01.2" no the upgrade screen shows
Version 1.01.0
Updating Version 1.01.2
But I cannot verify if it actually did upgrade... It think it did not. How do I verify?

The green box in the software now and then goed red. There is no data collected, and I had excellent reception, and I can see on the network that there is traffic I normally pick up. So we are not there quite yet...
