ALL!!!!

I just found a bug - CRAP!!! This means most of you - regardless of the version you have will want to get an update. It surfaced on a Multiplex radio going repeadly in and out of fail safe. Multiplex runs at muh less than 40fps. I had fixed this issue in the past. Why was it back? I dug into the code and found the issue. I had doubled the internal frame rate to get engines to respond at the same speeds to a failing engine scenario. In doing this I did not update the signal loss detection code to declare signal loss at a 20 HZ frame rate or less. Instead it now declares a signal loss at less than 40fps (i.e. why multiplex fails).

This will also explain why some people are seeing the engines pull back when they should not!!!!

Send me your chips. Procedure again is to stick them in a piece of styrofoam (not foam rubber) and mail them to me in a padded envelope with two stamps on the outside and two stamps inside for return postage. No charges. If you don't feel comfotable removing and replacing the chip after the update you can send me your board (4 stamps each way then).

Sorry guys. Code is already fixed and ready to go. Ver 1.4.6 for the old style and Ver 2.1.2 for the new style.
