Hi Vinny
2 suggestions - modify the download page to remove Windows 7 as being compatible with the new versions of GCC and probably upload the compatible version and label it as such. Or, include the old version of the driver as a separate download, then maybe it'd work with the new GCC versions?

I was able to get things working on this old thinkpad to the point where I could actually access the communications tab. Lots of error 41's and this and that, crashes, etc. But after 3 or so hours of working on it tonight, I have them both working. I found and downloaded the update tool. One of my fixtures went fairly smoothly. The other required many reboots, usb cable pulls, etc, to get the update to apply itself. It would just try and try to reset the controller and nothing would ever work, then at one point it just went through.

Still pretty ********** with the lights. They're beautiful fixtures, and from what I hear, great performers, but damn the setup process is a HUGE PITA. Hopefully I can keep them online and get some profiles loaded onto them once I get my tank filled. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Me being way overseas doesn't help things. Had to rely on the forums and google translate to inch me along to some working fixtures.

One quick question (that's probably outlined somewhere) - if the lights are on the network, is there any benefit to forming a master/slave relationship if they're both running identical programming, or is that just for cloud movement type things?
