Steps to make a software update
1
Download and install the bootloader software (Or the AutoShow software of the X2 series)
and the drivers for the bootloader cable. The needed files can be found at:
https://www.explo.at/en/software/gerate-programmierung/bootloader-software.html
The driver differentiates between 32-bit (Installer x86) and 64-bit (Installer x64) Windows
system architecture. The used type of Windows architecture can found at "System".
2
Download the update file from the product page. The download link can be found at the
download header at the bottom of the product page for the Wave Flamer:

The update files differ between the radio versions V1 (unidirectional), V2 (older bidirectional)
and X2 (newer bidirectional), as well as the processor type 256 and 128.
The processor type 256 is marked by the three red status LEDs (ARMED) on the front panel.
If these are there, version 256 is used.
3
Select the correct COM interface in the bootloader software. The COM interface can be
found in the Windows device manager, at "Connections (COM & LPT)". The correct COM
interface is marked as "Silicon Labs" or "Silabs" if the driver is installed correctly.
4
Connect the X2 Wave Flamer via bootloader cable to your PC or Notebook.
5
Open the update file with the bootloader software (File > Select File).
6
Make sure the X2 Wave Flamer is switched off.
7
Start the transfer in the bootloader software (File > Upload).
8
Switch on the X2 Wave Flamer, and wait until the status bar of the programming (green bar)
is filled completely.
Should the green status bar not appear, it could be due to a faulty connection between the
Wave Flamer and Computer.
