For those keeping up with this issue on the glitch, I received new software today that has addressed the glitch, I tested it in the shop today and took it to the lake today and so far so good. I think we have fixed the glitch. We will continue to finish the rest of our standard testing, but we should have a fix that we can send out no later than the first of next week. Thanks again for helping us fix it. Maybe this glitch has been the issue for some of those not having the best results with AutoWake.
Stay tuned....Matt Brown

Makes sense except on that issue we never did change anything , was surfing port side for 10 minutes or so and all was good , picked up a down rider never turned boat off or changed settings , got rider up and after going for 6 min or so the wave was diminished , the auto wake settings changed to the starboard settings with the switch still in surf port while driving, used it all day to today without it happening though

Ok, for the glitch update, I ran the new 2018 software all weekend and I think the glitch is gone. As with any software, fixing one glitch might have created another "bug" somewhere else, but it seems to be solid to me. We still don't have the 2017 software done as we wanted to validate the 2018 first, but we should have that shortly. We are thinking we might try and put this software somewhere on our website or somewhere in a cloud based location so that owners can just download their latest software when ever they would like. Reflashing the software is very straight forward. You download the file, put it on a USB stick, put the USB stick in the USB port under the dash, and hold down the middle button while turning the key on. That puts it into bootloader mode and looks for the correct file type on the USB. If it is on there, then you select it and it reflashes the software. It is very important to note that when you reflash software, it resets your ballast timers. So you will have to go back and change those. It is recommended that you see where timers are before reflashing so that you know exactly where to set them to. It also resets flows plates and AutoWake settings back to default, but I recommend leaving them at default for most users anyways.
Again, for those not up to speed, the glitch was created because of the way we send the input signal to the PDM. To surf on port side, the switch actually sends a 12V positive signal to the PDM. To surf on stbd side, the switch actually sends a 12V negative signal to the PDM. What happened was if you turned key off with the switch in the surf port setting, sometimes based on exactly what turned off and when, the system would lose the ignition wire which generated the 12V positive signal. However, the now "neutral" signal would sometimes see ground and send an accidental 12V ground command to the PDM. That is why it changed plate locations and roll settings. Sometimes, it would do that, then on key on, it would see the now 12V positive signal and correct itself. But other times it wouldn't. Anyways, we were able to add delays that hopefully prevent that from happening and additional delays that go back and recheck every key cycle. So, even if it does send the wrong signal, then it does correct it and based on my testing, I couldn't get it to "glitch".
It is important to note that as with any electrical system, many factors can also contribute to "glitches" like this. Boats used in the water are NOT the optimum setup for proper ground planes. I am a mechanical engineer, so I am way outside my comfort zone talking electrical stuff, but lets just say that all grounds are NOT equal in a boat. In addition, loose connections at the battery, engine, bus bars, and in many areas can cause ground loops and noise. An electrical engineer reading this would probably laugh at my ignorance, but it is possible that this glitch could be more prevalent in some boats more than others. Regardless, hopefully we have found the fix and again hopefully this will improve performance for those such as TJC that might be seeing this glitch...Matt Brown
