Title: AS-1289 Cannot update firmware
Post by: K3GGN on 2024-09-23, 21:18:33

My remote system includes the K3 Twin with RRC-1258 MkII and a Microbit AS-1289 antenna switch. All has worked well for a couple years.

When I recently visited my remote QTH I browsed the Microbit website and saw what I believed was an update for the firmware. I was confused by the firmware offered for a AS-1289 vs a AS-1216. I must have installed the wrong firmware because the switch now comes up as a rotator configuration and I cannot restore it.

The AS-1289 manual is ambiguous and mentions the AS-1216 so I installed the latest firmware 1216H_WebSwitch_Ham-CRC-NEW-2024-06-04-v4.94.bin. The setup manager connects OK.

However, the 1289 does not work as an antenna switch after this installation. So I looked further and found firmware specifically for the 1289 on the web site. I downloaded AS-1269_1289_v4.59_2019-12-10_v4.59.  The setup manager shows: version 003; Firmware: 4.59; Bootloader: 1.13; HW: 003. Also correctly shown is "Device connected!" and 3648==3648.

So the update appears to be successful. However the "System Info" on the web page shows RC-1216H as the device and v4.59. I have tried several times to install the firmware for the AS-1289 but no success.

So I screwed up with the update! Is there a way to reset the AS-1289 to clear the firmware and then install the correct firmware? Or maybe another way?

Thanks
