CT1P v1.0.3 - Fixed problem of voltage closed loop overflooding for unit that cannot achieve -10/-11V. - Changed travel to 160um instead of 250um for Kinesis as we can't reach 250um. v1.0.1 - Reduced the sensitivity of the power supply self test. v1.0.0 - Initial release (only released internally). ENC v1.0.1 - Device show "Set Up" instead of "Overrange" when first powered after installation. - Factory reset turn the device off and on again. v1.0.0 KBD101 v2.0.8 - Added support for DS28E07 OneWire stage ident device. IMPORTANT NOTE: Failure to upgrade controllers to this firmware will result in new stages not being recognised. v2.0.7 - Fixed problem of homing procedure stalling at low velocities when used with the new DDS100 stage. KDC101 v2.2.6 - Added support for DS28E07 OneWire ident device. IMPORTANT NOTE: Failure to upgrade controllers to this firmware will result in new stages not being recognised. v2.2.5 - Corrected Z8 encoder count per mm conversion factor to exact value (from 67 to 67.49).
