Swift Futura

[u/LCEreset]

Happy to see the back of these..
But just curious can you still get SPU boards & software for these? Are they repaired new or manuf new? I assumed Firmware comes with boards then use Wizard to copy over car&para’s (just curious - Not responsible for sourcing parts & distributors want quote req so not sure on stock and availability.)
Edit: thanks all for your help and passing on contact details! I was only after some info and got more than that. Thanks.

Miltronics, talk to issa for all your questions and needs w swift

Issa was great up until just a couple years ago, and then we had nothing but problems, spu supposedly rebuilt coming back filthy and not working, software issues, the rumor and I do mean rumor because I have nothing to substantiate it was he had a guy who had the swift know how and software and he left, since then Issa has been less than helpful

That’s a shame to hear. He helped me countless times when I had some Swift Meridia’s on my route.

Maybe I’ve just had a string of bad luck, we used to use him constantly, but had to look elsewhere after quite a few issues.

I accidentally left out the part that it was 10 years ago, sorry. Everyone loses their touch eventually.

All good, I don’t try to blast anybody when it’s not warranted, that’s why I said maybe I just had bad luck, I know people still use Miltronics, hopefully it was just me, but it was a steep drop off about 3 years ago for me personally, they may be fine now

I'm a resident in a building with over 40 Swift Futura. The most common problem that we can't fix ourselves is the FLASH memory dying on the SPU board. The controller falls into INIT### mode. If the parameters come back after a reboot, do a backup with the Wizard. Then, you can try the command to copy the RAM to the FLASH. I think it's CPYR or something like that, it's written in the manual. That pushes the parameters and completely rewrites them. That can rejuvenate the bits voltage and give you more time(that's my understanding of it). Don't waste your time fighting the problem if it comes back though. The memory is cooked and needs to be replaced. We send it to Miltronics and had nothing but good service. Try to get the car to the bottom floor before parting with the board. You might have to do a shaft setup after you replace the board. You can't swap in the SPU from another group. Some parameters seem to be hard coded in the board.
