I'm really sorry everyone. There is indeed an error in the latest version of the Super8 MCU code. I added some new features and in doing so, I screwed up loop 1. The update was done to all chips programmed after January 31, 2018. Please contact
sales@buildyourownclone.com and we will get a new chip out to you right away. Please specify if you'd like the 4 bank version or the 7 bank version (see following paragraph for explanation of differences between the two).
When I first created the code, the Super8 had 6 banks. I decided to dumb it down to just 4 banks because I initially felt it was too difficult to convey which bank you were in with only 3 LEDs. But somewhere along the line last year, a batch of MCUs were accidentally programmed with the older 6 bank code. To my surprise, people not only seemed to like having the extra "secret" 2 banks, they also didn't have any problem figuring it out even though that wasn't what it was supposed to be doing. So a couple months ago, I thought, "Well, with 3 LEDs, we can actually have 7 different LED combinations (there's actually 8 if you used all off)", so I made a new version with 7 banks. Banks A - D are still represented as they always have been. Bank E is represented by the A and B LEDs. Bank F is represented by the B and C LEDs. And bank G is represented by all 3 LEDs on. Perhaps in the future, it would make more sense to get rid of the A, B, C, 7-bank system and just go with an "8-bit" 0 - 7 binary representation. But I digress. So then I figured if you have 7 banks, you probably want to be able to scroll up AND down, not just up. So the print on the enclosure says buttons 8, 6, and 4 are "bank", but they are actually, and have always been "bank up". Buttons 4, 2, and BP are now the new "bank down" feature (although there's no label on the enclosure for this). Adding the bank down feature is where the code for loop 1 got messed up.
Anyhow, I'm so very sorry and embarrassed about this. I was trying to improve our product and in my arrogance, I assumed that adding a new feature wouldn't affect any of the existing features, so I neglected to thoroughly test its existing features. Once again, please contact
sales@buildyourownclone.com with your shipping address and let us know if you want the 4 or 7 bank version, and we will get a new chip out to you right away.
