KNOWN BUGS in flowOS 2.3 :: Feb 2020
- Due to memory limitations, Capsule P13 only has 34 unique modes, and repeats last 16 modes to match vision props, which have 50 P13 modes.
- Brightness setting carries over during firmware update, this is not a true bug, but new default is level 4, previous default was level 3, new level 3 is dimmer than level 4, so update might make your prop dimmer.
- Indicator delays pattern: While in adjust, the light being used as the controller goes out of sync with the rest of the group. Once an adjustment is selected, it mostly syncs back up. Also when adjusting brightness (P5M2), after selecting an adjustment.
- If turning on a group member when some of the group is already on, it may join the group’s current mode, or it may take over the group, it’s not consistent.
- Many P5 indicators have an extra flash to them (Vision props only)
- settings indicators get out of sync, the controlling light is delayed by its indicator
- white-balance adjust as a group gets out of sync, the controlling light is delayed by its indicator
- bold and bolder do not randomize in random autoplay.
- P5M11 (random autoplay) can not be saved to favorites
- P4 (favorites) autoplay can not be saved to favorites
- temp settings of controlling unit are retained for 1 minute after off/group off
- grouping: stopping on red wipes grouping/saves red/no group
- save/duplicate mode in p8,p9 duplicates to P4M1. this was intentional, but can be confusing.
- auto-sleep can kick in during long button hold like deleting favorites causing some units to not delete. Recommended to temp-disable auto-sleep before editing favorites.
- After grouping and in some solo-on and auto-wake scenarios, you may need to press the button twice, or once on each light, to get them to respond to the group.
Known bugs (Nov 2019):
- Due to memory limitations, capsule P13 only has 34 unique modes, and repeats last 16 modes to match vision props, which have 50 P13 modes.
- Brightness setting carries over during firmware update, this is not a true bug, but new default is level 4, previous default was level 3, new level 3 is dimmer than level 4, so update might make your prop dimmer.
- When saving favorites in a group, one remote light will occasionally save twice. You can often (but not always) see it blink the "remote save" indicator twice. The duplicate save is usually the default adjust level, even if the first (intentional) save is adjusted.
- Indicator delays pattern: While in adjust, the light being used as the controller goes out of sync with the rest of the group. Once an adjustment is selected, it almost syncs back up. Also when adjusting brightness (P5M2), after selecting an adjustment.
- Temp. settings (open groups and un-saved adjustments in settings) are lost if auto-sleep kicks in.
- Temp settings and open groups are lost when Going past the last mode in a page (which = off)
- Group-on does not work when remote units are plugged in to USB and controller is not, after after the lights have been off for over 1 minute.
- adjusted favorite modes revert to default adjustment after off-on or auto-sleep. Re-navigating to the same mode shows it’s saved adjustment.
- P4 and P5 autoplay can not be saved to P4-favorites.
- If turning on a group member when some of the group is already on, it may join the group’s current mode, or it may take over the group, it’s not consistent.
- Deleting a mode in a show page (P8,P9), sometimes also deletes the mode AFTER it, on the local unit only. So 2 modes are deleted and the show becomes out of sync. across the group.
Vision props only:
- Many P5 indicators have an extra flash to them.
- We do not yet have firmware for every pixel-count. In most cases this makes no difference, but if you need to use a higher-count firmware you will lose the “center-mark” pixels in some modes. A lower count firmware would leave some LEDs dark.
Known existing bugs (not fixed yet as of Nov 2018):
indicators lost/dark at lowest brightness levels/dark mode adjustments
grouping occasionally fails
grouping occasionally joins other groups, even if in standby, or a different color
grouping to same color sometimes creates new group.
favorites autoplay can not be saved to favorites (space-time continuity error)
grouping can not adjust as a group
new group members sometimes take over group mode instead of syncing with group
capsule will not automatically connect to firmware updater when running or within 60 sec. of being turned off (fast wake mode) requires reset (see software reset feature in settings)
group member occasionally turns off during save, but does save.
group on mostly does not work when charging/plugged in to USB
group on: pattern resets on controlling prop after a few seconds, local unit pattern out of sync.
cycle past M11 to off to on should not = group on
checking charge level of charging prop when off causes it to show charging indicator, should turn back off
charge indicator "steps" at low brightness.
choosing white group takes over other running white group members, setting them to P5M1 (white)
fade-off indicator on local prop ahead of group
(clubs only) Fast auto-wake not instant, requires more motion.
radio can crash and stop transmitting, but still receive, requires soft/hard reset (rare)
group-save autoplay to favorites plays back buggy. Controlling prop plays different modes.
on USB/charge and showing charge indicator: hold does not turn off. Press does.
adjust randomizer: controlling prop non-randomized adjust gets delayed during button hold, off-set from group. Hack fix: use each prop in group to randomize once.
extra TBD mode after auto play.
Auto sleep doesn’t activate if modes are changing remotely
Bug fixes (Nov 2018):
adjust no longer jumps when entered or re-entered
adjust in kinetic and static now always match (do not go out of sync if one prop is moving, while the other is still)
adjust and save now work as a group on all P5 settings modes except M1 (grouping).
P13 (bonus page) save does not cause grouping to be lost on sleep (happens only in FlowOS 1.1/MOPS firmware)
more accurate battery level indicator → does not turn red until <10% (used to turn red below 50%)
club turning off on impact (accelerometer bug) fixed (does not address some hardware/battery fails)
solo-on/new group member now responds to group without requiring a second button press
page indicator can be interrupted, and does not repeat
prevented extra confusing blink, when entering P5 (settings) modes
no more delay during/after battery level indicator before you can turn on the prop/group
Bug fixes (May 2018):
- override conflict
- adjust override
- group control conflicts
- autoplay adjust when grouped
- favorites adjust select
- noisy
