    How to perform firmware upgrade on Pentair* controllers

    @Telemachus Good to know! Seems like they are quite resilient then and difficult to brick. I come from a background of flashing NXP chips where the wrong configuration, power loss, etc. can brick your very expensive chip. Though, most of my experience was around flashing bootloaders &...

    How to perform firmware upgrade on Pentair* controllers

    Success! After a long winter and many other delays, I have successfully upgraded the firmware of my ET! More than a year later but it's done. I went from 2.10 right to 2.19. I used @Telemachus 's methods and it worked flawlessly! I figured I would document my exact process for anyone else who...

    How to perform firmware upgrade on Pentair* controllers

    Looks like they replaced the installer with a batch file to create the PE Micro directories and copy over the files in the zip. More specifically one each for the cfg/s19 files and one with batch files for USBMultilink. Nice to see Windows 10 support added to the batch files. "DOUBLE CLICK ME"...

    How to perform firmware upgrade on Pentair* controllers

    When I go to settings->Circuit Names I can set Aux 6 for example to the name "Spa Light" in the long list of options. However, when I go Circuit Functions and change Aux 6 from generic I don't see spa light, just SAM/SAL. intellibright and some others. I think that's fine though so looks like...

    How to perform firmware upgrade on Pentair* controllers

    Yeah, that would be great! Just as a follow up while I am playing around with the programming right now, are there any tell-tale signs that the Spa controls and features are unlocked?

    How to perform firmware upgrade on Pentair* controllers

    Thank you! Yeah, I'm not sure I do. What is one distinctive feature that is enabled with the spa? To be honest, I'm still an ET programming noob but I see 8 feature circuits and when I click the valve button it turns the filter pump and heater on. Does that indicate spa mode or is there a...

    Upgrade Pentair Easytouch 4 to 8?

    It took some communication between me and a potential seller regarding international shipping but I might have found some on eBay. Sourcing the relays through Mouser and cables through Aliexpress is about $20 cheaper but I would rather just buy the OEM part from eBay than build it myself just...

    How to perform firmware upgrade on Pentair* controllers

    Sorry for the late reply, I have been doing a bunch of research/testing and have some updates. First of all, I removed the board and brought it inside to my bench (Just prefer soldering at my bench) and soldering on R41 and R42. Ran a Self-Test and the board now reports that it is an EasyTouch...
