Need help hacking DP832 for multicolour option.
Gandalf_Sr:
I ordered and received 0805 LEDs of suitable colors, I will report back on how well they fit but I am expecting them to work just fine.
CCB:
Just wanted to add that I've upgraded to latest firmware v00.01.16.00.02 2019-1-31 and it kept the options enabled. I had to check the manual to change the language back to english.
Also changed to DP832A and it's fantastic the new font and colours are great. Thank you sooo much! :) :) :-+

Does anyone have any info on what's different between the latest version and mine which is v00.01.14.00.03 ? Is there any affect on calibration when making the upgrade?
Vaiti:
Calibration should remain the same.

I downloaded the new firmware but the instructions are garbled...
1. Copy .gel file to the root of USB flash
2. Insert USB flash into DP800 (make sure the USB flash can be recognized by DP800). Power on DP800, press and hold HELP button until the update started.
3. Move USB flash after update is finished, then press these button in turn: HELP¡úHELP£¬¡úM4¡úM2¡úM1 (update analog board 1), ¡úM4¡úM2¡úM2 (update analog board 2)
4. Reboot DP800 after all the update finished and check the new version (Utility->system info->M1-M3-M2)
Can anyone help to decipher what line 3 means?
[EDIT] Never mind, I figured it out - ignore all the crap above, here's what worked for me...
1. Copy .gel file to the root of USB flash (I had to have a FAT32 formatted drive and the .gel file was the only file on the drive, you may do better than me)
2. Switch on the DP832(A) and immediately press [Help] button while first 3 ... is displayed, it now says "please insert drive with new firmware"
3. Plug in USB drive and (if it's a good drive) progress bar moves with download and update messages (only took about 30 seconds in total)
4. PSU reboots automatically but now all the menus are in Chinese
5. Press [Utility] > Language (M4) and then select 'English'
6 Check firmware revision by [Utility] > SysInfo and then, while the 3 lines of info are displayed, M1, M3, M2 (the buttons under the display numbered L to R)
The only problem I've found is that the stored settings don't work, it says they are the wrong format. You have to redo all the saved settings files.
That's it
