Companion MAC write Unmount

Post by F11oneone »

Advice please guys - this issue has me nearing hammer & then slight regret.

Mac user - using `Companion` to aid programming this %^%# radio.

All goes reasonably well -TX on - software reads model from radio - I then set up model via the right click wizard in the `.eepe box`.All good. I then `write model and settings to Tx,with a confirmation success.;`]
Then the bloody Tx won't unmount, likewise the `Taranis folder on the desktop, or the `no-name` file that accompanies it. At this point the info displayed on the still switched on Tx [For eprom write] is still reading old data model name. Has it written or not?

So - unable to unmount [dont say it] - i close the program and pull the usb.This then generates the `Bad EEprom data` display and I'm back to square one.

Now where is that hammer…….

HelpPlease :?

2940 had a bug and will indeed autoremount. Just disconnect ignoring it.
And you need to have firmware 2.0 to edit models with companion 2.0, firmware 2940 will not recognize settings made by companion newer than 1.52.

Thank you for the prompt reply -

As a newbie
- in essence, so I down grade companion to V2.0 and that should clear the `bad eeprom data `warning - when i pull the cord.
Apologies for sounding as if i don't know what the hell I'm doing….its because….I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

Many thanksKilrah

Not 2.0. If you want to keep firmware 2940 on the radio you must use companion9x 1.52.

Yes of course, you can download and flash firmware 2.0.8. Just be aware it has a lot of changes, and read the 2 posts linked here:
