Exodus Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Not sure if anyone has ventured over to Neptunes site and looked over the newest firmware update or not, but a huge improvement came with the Jr. Now allowing for up to 7 modules plugged in! That increase of 3 Modules is a pretty big upgrade for Jr. Owners like myself! Just thought I would pass the information along for anyone else interested. Version 4.40 brings new additions to the Apex AquaController System: Support for new Neptune Systems product releases— WAV Pump/1Link Module and PAR Monitoring Kit/ASM module A module expansion increase for the Apex Jr System— Increased to a total of 7 Aquabus Expansions plus a display module from 4 Aquabus Expansions plus a display module. Variety of other miscellaneous enhancements/fixes, including a firmware update for WAV pumps. Specific support for these products can be found in the Get Started Section. For more information or assistance, visit support. Edited April 12, 2016 by Exodus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo5 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Yeah it's a massive upgrade. Now, there's really no reason to buy the gold package unless you know for a fact you want all of those modules. I had a junior and bought a gold just so I could add more modules, and now this update makes that pointless. OH well - I don't mind have the 2nd one on monitoring my QT tank, but it would not have been so important had I known this was happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I currently have the B.O.B, PM2, and EB8 connected to mine wasn't sure if I wanted to use my last 1 for a PM1 or the PAR meter, but now I can have both!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo5 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 You could also unplug your display and just use the dashboard. But now there's no point to that. Enjoy it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true, but I still use the display for Calibrating my conductivity probe, I heard it can be done on the dash, but i do find the display more convenient, otherwise I never use the thing like I feel most others probably figure it out. Primarily I control my apex through programmed switches on the breakout box or my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
