Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update
- Thread starter Garmin
- Start date
an example of how to take immense good-will and flush it....
I'm not sure what happened..... had a product that worked amazing and tried to have it do more was a big mistake I think. Just come out with the garmin 2.0 but maybe with athlon and labradar lx ect maybe they felt they needed to a jump
Well... fuck.
I got off night shift this morning, was puttering around a bit before going to the range, had the Xero plugged in charging. Got a prompt for an update, hit 'ok' then thought "Oh $hit. I remember reading about a new firmware that caused dropped shots. Damn damn damn. But wait, that was weeks/months ago. Surely they fixed it by now, right?"
Nope.
Those were a 20 shot string followed by three ten shot strings. Totally fucked any usable data collection.

Damn. Were you using it weapon mounted or on it's tripod?Well... fuck.

I'm at 3.27, I continue to cancel the update request. I have not dropped a shot ever to date. The update is the issue
Am I understanding correctly that you dropped 6 out of 10 on the last one?Well... fuck.

Weapon mounted, first time. Planning on trying again tomorrow with it on its tripod on the bench.
Yup.
Interesting. Is it possible Garmin did something to nerf the effectiveness when it is being gun mounted to deter users from doing it?
May be helpful if other users that have had issues comment if weapon mounted or not.
If that were the case, they would change their statement, which encourages the practice.

I agree, but I'm still on 3.27. Has anyone tried actually calling Garmin CS and ask them if it is possible, or if they could make it possible? Might get a better response than the silence here.
Went 35 for 35 just now, with chrono back on its own tripod
Interesting….. Any other possible variables?
About the only thing that comes to mind would be *how* it was mounted on the gun yesterday. I had it pretty much all the way back on the fore-end rail (ARC Xylo), and a can out front (Omega 36M w/ ColeTac wrap). The location + the can might have partially occluded the 'view'?
3.30 dropped 4or5 out of 27.
I’m on version 3.32 now. It pick up all 29 shots from my last outing, no failures

I haven't really had a problem on 3.32 over a couple of hundred shots. 3.30 was a different story.
FWIW mine is not weapon mounted.
