ColorSource Cyc Alternate Processor CPU2
Symptoms/Issue
Why does my ColorSource Spot, Par, Cyc, or Source 4WRD-C say CPU2 next to the serial number?
Fix/Solution
Due to parts shortages, we were forced to temporarily use an alternate processor on the control card. To better keep track of this, we added a CPU2 sticker to the fixture's Serial Number to give us a faster way to identify which processor is in use.
What else does this mean?
- CPU2 can ONLY accept specific fw versions. ColorSource Par and Spot use v3.0, ColorSource Cyc uses v 3.1. All other variants of ColorSource fixtures will remain on v1.X.X. 4WRD-C uses v2.0.0
- There is a different fixture variant added into Updaterator should the new firmware need to be repushed to a fixture.
- Fixture to fixture software push will function only between fixtures using the same processor type.
- If you try to load the CPU2 firmware onto to a non-CPU2 fixture, or vise versa, nothing will happen; the fixtures will not accept the code.
