advice for almost-new 2b users

After much hesitation, I purchased a 2b to accompany my stereostim box.
Do you have any advice on how to approach me? as well as obviously reading the instruction manual carefully.
I purchased a used kit but complete with power supply and USB cable.
The 2b currently has firmware 2.105, is it advisable to update immediately?

It is probably worth using it with the existing firmware first to get an idea what it can do and how it feels before updating it.
Definitely eventually worth updating to the latest beta version, adds some new modes flo, cycle and twist which are nice, but also a lot more settings like maps etc to configure to your own taste. That is where it helps to know what it felt like before updating.
Think v2.126 is freely available to download, but you would need to request joining the Developers forum to access the latest beta v2.127.
Please do read the Admin posts regarding access to the Developers forum and the conditions.
Have fun and enjoy the box.

Hey Sam,
what firmware version is it you're telling about modes like flo, cycle and twist? Is this already within 2.126?
Seems like I have an link cable soon, since I would love to have some new interesting modes. Will order one and I hope it will be worth.
Thanks in advance for your answer

Hi schnuff,
As Si confirmed v2.127 is now available for public download.
At the time I made my posting it was only available from the developers forum.
Been really enjoying this version and the new modes, thanks Si

Hi,
There is a sub-forum '2B Beta Firmware' which has the latest public released version (v2.127) and an archive of older releases.
The topic posted by Admin with the firmware does have comments of what has been changed since the previous version.
You could look back at older versions to see what changes were made, the previous few were sorting out minor issues found by the users in the Development Forum
If you have an old version, definitely worth updating for the new modes and a lot more options in the way you can configure the unit to suit your own taste
Have fun,
Sam
