I am so confused, because they taught me the following:
I learned that software is consistent: (The <If Then> loops, the <Do> Loops, the <FOR I-1 to 100> Loops, the logical expressions,...... work consistently. They do not deviate.
Even if there are bugs, they will result in a bad output, but it will be consistent. Temperature does not affect software!
It makes no sense to me when someone states to do the firmware update multiple times, and repeat the same software task multiple times.
Hardware on the other hand, do have latencies, operate different over temperature extremes, RF analog devices deviate in performance, they are not digital 1 or 0. Even digital devices (1 or 0) can build up tolerances, once you stack them up, or use devices from different mfgrs. Then you have mechanical considerations due to the motors, and the environment they operate, and normal wear and tear over time.
Please help me understand.
