New firmware for Promote Remote Control

For those who have the wonderful Promote Remote Control device, version 2 of the firmware is now out. The timelapse HDR function looks rather neat - must give it a go. Also, the ability to specify an HDR range starting at either the High or Low exposure point will be far better - no more guessing what the mid-exposure should be.

This Promote Control firmware update version 2.0 adds the following features from the previous official version 1.05: - High Dynamic Range Time-Lapse mode - High Dynamic Range starting exposure can now be chosen from Mid, Low or High. - Time-Lapse / HDR Time-Lapse can now have infinite number of exposures / HDR sets (subject to flash memory size and battery life). - Power button hold now cancels an active sequence, if there is any. - Modes can be switched backwards by holding Left

The actual unit operates directly with the camera and is thus independent of any PC. It is only the firmware update s/w that needs a PC (perhaps a Virtual copy of Windows will do?).

Yeah, that is what I meant. I have windows on my mac but prefer to use mac applications when I can.

They did. It doesn't work. Consistently crashes on launch - so no firmware update for me.

OK. Slight revision. The software crashes on my MacBook Pro but works just fine on an old PowerPC.
