Everything is working now. It appears they just needed a couple of more handshakes to get to know one another.

Seems like the updates have stopped?

I looked at the last update and saw that it is in active development. Then I bought the device and the app and there are no updates since then ...
Murphy strikes again.

My Android app just updated yesterday!

What's New
// Version 4.23
// FEATURE: Controller Firmware 4.08
// - BUGFIX: Analyze Cycle with Preset shows Update Tag (UpdTag) instead of Update Preset (UpdPst)

Updated October 10, 2018

Problem # 1 My bump controller did a firmware update and now I can not get the ccs 4.08 app to connect to the controller. It says bump controller is running newer firmware (4.8) than this application supports. The application must be upgraded to ensure compatibility. Bluetooth connection will be closed. Am I missing something? Is there somewhere I can update the app other than the play store? Is there anything I can do?

Problem #2 I've had my charger since last Christmas and haven't had any issues. I just built a case for it and now it will only spuratically read the bump tags with deck mounted in place. I can lift the deck about .5" and it will work every time. Any ideas how to rectify the case app issue and what might be causing the bump tag read issues? I'm guessing some kind of interference but not sure how to rectify.

Self adhesive aluminum or copper tape applied to the back of the controller has been discussed and used by a few people
Give it a try ...

Thanks! I guess I missed that post. Will post results.

Tape worked great. Now if I can just figure out how to get the tablet to Bluetooth to the controller I'll be in good shape.

Same issue here with android saying the charger software is higher than the CCS can support.

You guys still around? Haven't seen much activity around the software in a while. There was mention a while back of a discharger coming. Been super quiet lately.

Sorry for the delay in responding. We are rather far along on development efforts on a high output discharger, although it is premature to provide specs. or pricing. Hopefully available 2nd or 3rd qtr, 2019.

Jamie,

Good to see you respond and happy to hear work has begun and is progressing on a discharger.
I am very interested in one. I think it would be the perfect companion to the line of chargers produced by Revo! Between the charger/discharger would be an excellent way to maintain batteries but it needs to be fairly quick at discharging. Looking forward to learning more about the device.

The surface crowd is still using the LONG discontinued Competition Electronics GFX to dyno batteries. Also, if you walk through the pits of any race you'll literally see hundreds of people running iChargers with a discharge bank on one of the channels, cycling 2S batteries at 30-40A before every run. A unit that can give comparable telemetry (or more) to what the GFX provides as well as be used as a standalone cycler for racers would fly off the shelves.

I can put you in touch with the right people if you're interested in capturing the features that crowd covets, especially the dyno things that would likely be in software.

I don't think the iOS app supports presets (no bump tags) yet. Is that correct? Has FMA given any updates on when that will be available? Does it support manual charging?

Correct, the ios app does NOT support presets, at least mine does not. It does support manual charging. As the bluetooth range on my ipad seems to be about a foot, it is easy to use the bump controller to use the preset charging option and monitor it on the ipad.
