[Elphel-support] Elphel 393 Question

Hi Oleg,

Thank you for your help. However, I'm still having the same problem. On one
of my elphels, when I use the recovery card it works fine but when I remove
the card the feed is very laggy. Do you know what the issue is? Also, when
I uploaded the files to ipaddress/update_software.html the rootf file would
not upload. I don't know if that is a problem.

Thanks,

Mohamed
