Yes, we received one for one of our customers last week.

Yeay!!! Mine came in a 10:30 this morning!!!!

Have a few issues. I'm having some issues - said it cannot verify data on the settings download, but it seems to be downloading anyway?

I don't know . . .

Now, what I also don't know, is there a Trimix download for it???!??

From the ScubaPro Website (red is my note): http://www.scubapro.com/en-US/USA/instruments/computers/products/galileo-sol.aspx

The Galileo dive computer has undergone some modifications involving updating the device's hardware and software. This modification also affects the TMX Upgrade, which must also be adapted to the new hardware. The testing and certification of the TMX upgrade will take some time to complete.

The Galileo's serial number does not indicate version. However, you can determine which Galileo version your device is by following these steps

• MENU --> OTHER SETTINGS --> DEVICE INFORMATION
  A "new" Galileo reads: HW version: 1.2 EDIT: The 2016 models we are being sent have a HW Version: 1.4

The current TMX Software can not be used with the updated Galileos. An error message will be displayed.

So, will the HW version 1.4 accept the Trimix upgrade?????


It is still unknown as to when the Trimix upgrade for the updated Galileos will be available as the duration of the certification process can vary.

I see this mail is almost a week old, so you probably have it figured out and working by now.
But I remember that when I installed the Trimix upgrade, I updated to FW1.7.
It would be nice if you posted a summary of your story for others once the Galileo is working for you again.

My Luna is very old, but it's still working fine (I think I've replaced the batteries 4 times). So although I like some of the current generation of dive computers, I just remind myself that I don't need "no stinking color screen" and I'm content again
And, just to comment on the other issue (no iRDA in Win10); years ago, instead of junking an old ThinkPad (which has built-in iRDA) when the battery died, I put it into service as my dedicated dive log/scuba archive computer.

The Trimix upgrade does not work for the later models of Sols. It is the SmartTrak giving the error, but the Sol is doing fine.

The saddest thing about these new computers is you have only 4 transmitter with which to pair. 1, 2, Deco, and Buddy.

Hello Jax, you're right. My Galileo Sol has HW v1.4 & FW v2.0 and it seems not possibile to flash it with Trimix. SmartTrak start uploading the FW (progression bar goes until end) but device displays an error "SW Upload error: 7" and results is that no firmware has been uploaded.

We just have to wait for a new SmarTrak version to sucesfully update these new devices with FW v2.0 ?
