Once the master code was updated my printf's worked fine (no more IFI> terminal freeze ups)
I'm not sure this is sound advice, I looked on IFIs website, and the latest update I see for a 2005 controller is v11. The v12 update is included with the 2006 controller code. This to me implies the update is built for the 2006 controller, and I'm not sure if it shares a master processor with the 2005. If it does share a master processor, it should work fine, but if they've changed them, such an update could make the RC...not work.

Does anyone know if the 2005 and 2006 controllers share a master processor model? Also did you actually do the Master version update on your 2005 controller? It's a little hard to understand as you speculate the controller in question was running v11.

Can someone clarify please?
