Download Version 1.6 here

This update must be done on USB. It cannot yet be updated over Sidus Link or Sidus Link Pro.

New Features

  • Updated DMX Profiles (1–32, 101–132) – Profiles are now unified and consistent with the STORM 1200x.

    • Includes new profiles: Limited CCT & RGB, xy & CCT, RGB, and RGBA

Optimizations

  • The software version number now displays as 1.60, making it easier to confirm your update.
  • CRMX and Bluetooth can no longer be enabled at the same time, preventing conflicts.
  • After resetting Bluetooth with a long press on the back button, the system now automatically turns Bluetooth on.
  • Overcurrent pop-up notifications have been simplified into a clear Error Code (EH31).
  • Power handling has been improved:
  • A pop-up now alerts you if the light powers on at less than full output.
  • New warnings appear if voltage fluctuates, with automatic power reduction or shut-off for protection.
  • AC voltage information and high/low voltage displays added in menus.
  • The HSIC+ dimming curve has been refined for smoother, more accurate low-brightness performance.
  • xy color mode zero-value colors optimized.
  • System Fan control has been optimized:
    • Fan errors are now detected using both stall detection and temperature checks, improving accuracy.
    • Shutdown fan speed checks have been relaxed to avoid false triggers.
  • The strobe random effect has been optimized.
  • A new flash enable blink function and reserved effect slot execution improve channel control behavior.

Bug Fixes

  • Light now turns on and off without delay.
  • AC fault error codes now display text correctly (no more blank screen).
  • Environmental temperature errors must now be manually cleared instead of automatically canceling.
  • Factory mode no longer switches languages unexpectedly when timers reset.
  • Boot upgrades no longer get stuck in a restart loop if power is lost.
  • Master/slave reset now works properly.
  • If the fixture fails to respond, the system ignores it instead of freezing.
  • After a stall recovery, the light cancels the error and jumps to the correct menu.
  • Brightness can now always be controlled properly, even after the app adjusts motors.
  • CRMX forwarding of DMX data now keeps multiple fixtures in sync.
  • Resolved xy color mode bug.
  • Added a 1-second power-on delay for compatibility with LLZ adapters.
  • Fixed interface refresh issues in output channel, dimming curve, and CRMX settings menus.
  • Fixed xy interface boundary issue where values could go out of range.
  • Sidus App now properly switches into HSIC+ mode.
  • Knob controls no longer allow unintended adjustments if turned quickly while entering a settings menu.
  • On first power-up, fans no longer default to silent mode without refreshing power limits.
  • Screen now updates with Control Channel changes.

Known issues: DMX FX Profiles are not optimized.
