From DA

We do not support updating over anything other than the 3' cable that comes with the RK2. If the load fails you will need to send in the unit for service.

Good to know. Weekend project for me.. at least to upgrade the firmware.

Some good info guys. Thanks. I have been going to update a couple times now but still have not.

I have an RK2...love it. Now that it's discontinued I'm a little worried about future firmware updates. Otherwise, I think it's great...not sure how I have run without it before. The update does improve things. I would be interested to know if anyone running the bluetooth has it working to allow data logging yet? I don't think I would trust it to flash the firmware but I would love it if I could do data logging with it. My PC is on the opposite side of the room from the controller and I have yet to find a solution.

I have my RK2 connected by Bluetooth to a PC (see link in post 3) that logs temp and ph (and data that you manually enter) is that what you want to do?
It uses the myreef software.

If your PC is in the same room the easiest and cheapest is with a data cable they can be up to 50'. DA sells them or you can make them yourself, I'm sure I've seen a pinout on the net
.
If hardwiring is out of the question you can go the Bluetooth route and I'm happy to try and help with the setup.

Does the RKE have the same online data ability? So I can see tank param's when I'm away?

I think the myreef software and the net module for the Elite are due to come out this year.

I hooked my RK2 up to my new bluetooth serial adapter today and over to my PC. It was a breeze and now I can log all my data properly. Worked well.

Thanks for the help Pescador.

No problem, glad you got it going.
