3. The firmware update
With the SMD equipped LightControl we have this already done for you! The LightControl is
completely ready for use with the actual Bootloader, the actual firmware and the printed
serialnumber.
The chapter „firmware update“ describes only the steps for the case of an update if a new firmware
is available for the LightControl!
In other cases (first introduction if still no firmware was uploaded)please read the programming
steps in the construction instructions of the soldering kit.
3.1 Approach with the firmware update
The
LightControl
can become beside the
Programmer also directly flashed with
the BiDiB-
Wizard tool
. This function should be also used at
a firmware update
.
The advantage is:
The LightControl can be updated in the built-in
state with the tool, you also speaks of a distant
servicing.
In the knot list of the BiDiB-Wizard tool you find
your LightControl and all other BiDiB
components, for configuration or for a firmware
update.
Download the actual firmware for the
LightControl from our web page and ectract the
ZIP file on your PC
.
Tip:
Use with an update only the file with the name:
lightcontrol_update…000.hex
With this all macro and settings remain you
have configured on the LightControl preserved
and are not overwritten by Default values
.
You must transfer only this file to the LightControl with the BiDiB-Wizard tool.
Both other files are the firmware files for the first introduction. By use your stored settings with the Default
values are overwritten (default settings).
