Cobra 200 wiring question

[Frooom]

I just picked up a 2015 cobra 200. I figured out I will need to open the units to master/slave each pair of T6, but what I noticed is that as-is, they do not seem to have the same patterns. The 2015 matches up to what I can find about the 20 built in patterns but my existing older one (no date listed) doesn't. Input very welcome!

For the record I plan to keep these as one all red, one all white and use them each as a single light until I get a 400, at which point I will make each red/white and would like to have the pattern match (unless I can't due to model year differences)

 

[Frooom]

Ah I guess it's the firmware? I disconnected the blue leads to each T6 and tried the whole master/slave thing...no luck. I got both modules in each 200 set for steady burn, then tried to connect them up but they each want to do their own thing and I had zero luck. It seems the flash patterns are not the same between the two pairs any advice is welcome.

It sounds like they are 2 different firmwares. It sounds like you may have an older T6 that is a couple firmwares behind. If that's the case, they'll never match up.

****. **** **** ****. Alrighty well that figures. Anyone have a list of patterns for the older units? Just trying to find ONE pattern that's the same so I can at least not look like a rolling disco...

They both don't have the solid single flash? They both should at least have that flash pattern..

 

[Frooom]

I'll scroll through them again tonight and see what I can get to be the same. There's one pattern I like, not sure what it's called, but at 13, 19 and 41 roughly on this video I like the pattern.

Could always try to rewire them, set them to steady, and hook them up to an external flasher.

 

[Frooom]

Yeah I considered that too. I'm going to mix modules and see what happens - worst case I'll have two funky matching red/white! :-D either way I shall now hunt a cobra 400. I'll leave the post up for a bit, see if anyone can ID the older model year...maybe I can solve the firmware issue

You need to see what the stickers on the modules themselves say. Not the stick housing.

 

[Frooom]

^ fair enough, I'll look later on tonight and report back with what I see!

 

[Frooom]

So the newer 2015 is 5.7, but the older one has no markings on the individual T6 modules. Back has an imprint of 0-04609.

 

[Frooom]

Okay so this ain't gonna happen - the patterns that ARE the same (one or two) don't have the same speed.

But I can fix this! My newer one on the front is red/white and it's a 2014. The new white/white I just bought is a 2015 - could someone chime in regarding the T6's and let me know if the firmware in 2014/2015 is the same or not? If it's the same I can trade a model and bam - all set! (Or at least, if the patterns are the same)

 

[Carlos SpicyWeiner]

Most of them were the same but there was a period of a couple months that werent. Best thing to do is call feniex support with the codes.

 

[Frooom]

Alrighty, thanks for the advice! I think I'll still throw up a WTT to swap a white module for a red one. At least then I'll have two red/white units with the same patterns.
