Awesome, thanks guys! I upgraded the firmware and migrated settings yesterday, seemed to go well after I power cycled the BCS and got my tftp server working correctly. Brewing today, wish me luck!

I spoke too soon. I started heating HLT, and it stopped around 160F where it should have, and cut over to hold the temp, and kept rising. I checked the Temp Setpoints, and it's getting WAY wrong readings, and now it's overheating. HELP!!! It looks like I'm going to have to downgrade to brew today. :(

What's weird is the temp display on the main page is showing correctly.

Figured out what is going on, same bug I reported last attempt at 4.x... the converter pulled in settings off by 1, in this case the temp probe was set to the wrong one in the various process states. Also noticed the converter didn't pull in any of the Start Process settings. :(

Example: MLT looking at HLT probe:

Hmm, the Start Process settings just don't seem to work either...

EDIT: Arrgblah I RTFM, they run on state exit. It's only been 5 years since I messed with this controller. ....I think I got everything recreated that didn't convert correctly...

after a long time I came back to see what is new. I have to admit I have not use the 462 that much vs the 460. Now I want to upgrade down laod bin 460 but how to migrate step by step I forgot. I download a program "Multithreaded TFTP Server based on Trivial File Transfer Protocol" bit how and what I am lost. where is the link for the not so gurus on firmware but yes on hardware.

I need to come up to speed because I am going to do a keg washer using another 462

thanks
