Loading the application firmware
If your module does not flash the blue LED three times on power-up, you will need to update
the system firmware and load the application program. These instructions should also be
followed if you want to update your firmware to the latest version or even revert to an earlier
version.
You need to download the dScript programming environment from here:
http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/files/dScriptPublish.php
PC requirements
Windows 7 or later
USB port to program the module.
The dScript IDE is supplied as a zip file that can be download and unzipped into a temporary
folder, inside the temporary folder will be four folders:
Installation
USBdriver
Examples
Documentation
Go to the Installation directory and click “setup” to install the dScript IDE, if you have already
installed a previous version you will need to uninstall it before installing the new one.
The USBdriver folder contains the USB com port driver for the modules.
Copy the Examples directory to a convenient location on your computer, it contains both
dScript source code examples and associated web pages, one of which is the application
firmware you will need.
In this order:
1. Start from this position:
a. dScript Editor closed down.
b. dS378 not connected or powered.
2. Power-up the dS378.
3. Connect the USB lead to the PC. If windows wants a driver, point it to the USB driver
folder and install the driver from there.
4. Hold down the reset button for a couple of seconds until the red LED comes on. This
indicates the module is in boot-loader mode.
