bo21 issues

[nmiller0113]

• I just upgraded mine to b021 and noticed that when I click anything under the "Player" section it crashes and reboots. It doesn't do this in E1.31/Artnet Mode. I'm not running b021 for anything other than having the latest version and to enable Wifi so I'm using E1.31/Artnet Mode, but I'm not using the Player Mode because it cannot do 40fps

• I have both Wifi and Wired setup for DHCP and both get DHCP but I noticed that the Wifi interface is forcing a second DNS server of 192.168.2.2 and I cannot get it to go away. The Wired interface is showing 0.0.0.0, which it should

As I plan to isolate my show / E1.31 network, I enabled the Wifi, to use strictly for management access, and noticed the following menu differences when accessing over wifi:

• When on the Status page I do not see Output Settings, Player or Misc Settings
• When I click on Network Configuration, E1.31 / Artnet disappears as an available tab
• In my browser tab that it says the name I gave the controller from the Status tab, when on the Network Configuration tab my browser tab says "name - bo21", when on the E1.31/Artnet tab my browser tab says "Falcon Controller" but when accessing it via Wired it says b021 in all the browser tabs
• On the Network Configurations tab under the Wifi interface settings below the Secondary DNS setting there is a " (quotation) that isn't there when access that tab via the Wired interface

I believe those are all my findings for b021

I also just noticed that it is reporting voltage incorrectly. Both sides are powered from the same 12v power supply. Also, it is powered by an external power supply and that supply is even 12v. So I've got no idea why it's showing 5V anywhere. See attached screenshot.

I can second this. I just went to this forum to check if this issue was already reporting and if it was just happening to me. Going to downgrade. Should I go to 18 or 20?

I don't know which of the issues I mentioned that you're referring to @CoveTech, but b021 works great. I've been on it for over a week now and all is well. I personally wouldn't downgrade over some aesthetic issues.

Last night, I was testing the DMX output on Port #2 by using the software radio button from my smartphone. No problem - it came on and started outputting data to all the string ports and DMX on Ports #1 and #2. But it would not turn OFF when I unchecked the radio button. Nothing could get it to stop transmitting. (until I went into the garage and power cycled) This F16v3 b021 has been running without power cycling for probably 3 weeks.

@JonB256 the radio button in FPP? Just not sure of the button you're referring to in the F16 interface. I'm curious about this since I use 3 of the DMX ports off of my F16 and haven't had a single issue. Honestly, what you're stating sounds like a sender issue, as I've seen similar things when testing from xLights in the past using their testing tool, more than a receiver issue. I've seen that exact problem where the OFF never gets sent to the controller so it just stays at the state based on the last data it received.

"radio button" is a small circle instead of a square check box. A radio button allows ONE choice in a list (a radio can only listen to one station at a time). Check boxes allow multiple. Should have put it in quotes.

It could have just been a "smart phone" issue. I did not try coming indoors to a computer to try turning it off. The power cord was a lot closer. :)

@JonB256, haha, I should have been more clear. I was asking where you were using a radio button to test as I'm not aware of one in the F16 interface. You weren't clear where you were selecting that from, I assumed it was FPP, in order to know how to diagnose or reproduce your issue. I know what a radio button is :)

hmmm - in Chrome on my PC, it isn't round but not quite square, either. The selection for Test. On my phone it looks like a Radio button.
