Do-more Version 1.1 consists of both a new version of Designer programming software and a new version of firmware for all existing H2-DM1 and H2-DM1E CPUs.
Note that both of these upgrades are FREE. Actually, they're also free if you are new to Do-more (there's a free built-in Do-more PLC simulator that installs with Designer that lets you "kick the tires" and try out Do-more before purchasing any hardware).
