there just not as bright.

Re: Superhub 2
 

I only had my shub for a few days but even that was enough. I got some heavy duty black tape and covered all the lights. I thought it was pathetic, they went more for pretty flashy lights and what the thing looks like rather than making sure it flipping worked

Re: Superhub 2
 

So you're saying that the R37 has weakened the LED ouput?

Re: Superhub 2
 

no. SH2 improvement.

Re: Superhub 2
 

How do you know that?

TH - you were fairly definite a couple of posts ago; but here you're asking for confirmation.

You might end up being right, but you were fairly definite a couple of posts ago and that's somewhat risky.

VM's record isn't such that they'd be "fed up with the SH1". More likely, they'd look for the next generation of SH to introduce when stocks of the current SH run out. It'll even possibly be an accident of the LEDs are dimmer!

I've been told a few bits during a conversation, I do trust the person. However this worlds full of people who know much more than me. Some may be direct insiders on here as there are so confirmation as well as added bits of info they may have is still needed for us all. I don't have every bit of detailed info about SH2.

VM have got SH1 stable so of course their not angry at it full stop but improvements are needed to kick on. SH1 is good now and can only get better once a coder pulls something out the bag to maximize its potential. Stock of SH1 should be run down by replacing all old non SH kit on the network.

If your asking for my view its not an accident the LEDs on SH2 are less bright than on SH1. It could be due to design or due to someform of cost cutting or VM listening. What I will say is VM heads are incredibly nice to work with so judging by that I'd say they have made overall improvements which is why we have SH2 to look forward to.

LED's do not matter to me as I cannot see them so a non event, why bother with code for LED's when the device is just a bit of unpolished manure.

It is like fitting a new brass knocker on a front door while the rest of the building is demolished around it, a pointless and fruitless exercise and a complete waste of money.

Re: Superhub 2
 

Surely, the LED output would require a hardware change to vary the brightness.
The LED requires current to illuminate, so would require a resistor inserting to dim?

Re: Superhub 2
 

My shub is in a position that means the lights are not visible, so it does not matter if they are bright or not as far as i am concerned.

Re: Superhub 2
 

As no engineer has come out to fit one???

Re: Superhub 2
 

the superhub when in use is in my bedroom.

Basically even if I faced it the other way, the entire side of the room would go blue whenever it flashed, I had to cover it with a cloth. :D

According to him it will have "identical firmware".

The SH2 *is* a hardware change

You've never heard of dimmable LEDs then...

Re: Superhub 2
 

Frippery in the VM firmware sense.
