P1P upgraded to P1S
Firmware updated without my permission to 1.08
My Panda Touch stopoed working after BL automatically upgraded my firmware without asking.
I downgraded to the liwest available which is 1.06 but it still has access control. 1.05 is not available.
So I thought I would try in Developer mode - but Developer Mode is not in the menus (instructions show it in the WiFi menu below MAC Address).
Has Developer Mode been removed already?
Authorization control and Developer mode were both introduced to P1P/P1S firmware with version 1.08.02.00. Neither are available with earlier versions.
Thats strange because it was the upgrade to 1.07 thst stopped my Panda from connecting (apparently).
It asks for an access code but doesnt accept anything. Strange…
Thanks fir the reply.
How did BL update the firmware of your machine without your permision?
I thought a firmware update must be actively done by the user.
So did I and it always has in the past.
This machine has been out of connission for 3-3 months simply because the AMS developed a fault and I used my X1 solely, for a few months.
Then yesterday I needed to print something while the X1 was busy, and it was only one filament, so I thought I’d fire up the P1. Imagine my puzzlement when I couldnt get PandaTouch to connect.
All sorts of troubleshooting later I found several prople saying firmware with Access Control wouldnt work with Panda and that the latest version that did NOT have access control was 1.05 (not as someone said here, 1.08).
I thought to mysrlf, it cant be access control, I always reject firmware updates for exactly thst reason.
And when I looked - there it was! First time powered up in many weeks …
So I contacted Support who ssid the latest available downgrade is 1.06 and it has access control (again, not what the responder above says). Support said I would need to use Developer mode. But its not there.
This is not relatedto your Developer mode question but the way they refer to the P1P as an upgrade to a P1S is not really an accurate description of what is going on.
You have a P1P with an enclosure but it is still a P1P.
There are some differences in boards between the P1P and P1S
Precautions
When a future update shows up, it will be for a P1P, not a P1S
As you say, not the question. As far as firmware goes its just P1 Series. S ir upgraded P isnt relevant.
What @lkraus said is correct. The Panda Touch works with firmware 01.08.01.00 and earlier. You can downgrade from the latest version to one of the firmwares that still work with it.
