SparkMax firmware issue, following problem

[oleitersdorf]

Hi,

We’ve been getting the following error (for all of the 6 connected sparks) upon starting the robot code:
Error at com.revrobotics.CANSparkmaxLowLevel. (CANSparkMaxLowLevel.java:259): The firmware on SPARK MAX with CAN ID: 23is too old and needs to be updated.
Although we checked multiple times and verified that all of the sparks are at v1.0.384 (latest), we’re still getting this error.

The sparks still work with the error; however, when configuring Sparks 21 and 22 to follow 20, for some reason they do not (with ID 20 being the only one moving and 21/22 having flashing purple). This could be related to the firmware warning.

Sincerely, 4338

We’ve posted a hotfix for the Java roboRIO API that fixes this issue.

Does follow mode work with the example code? Can you share your code that configures the followers and any related error messages you received (other than the firmware error).
