Run the Dashboard and update the SW for all beacons and modem using Dashboard =>
Firmware => Choose the file => Program
If you see the message “Not found modem connection to computer through USB” in the
Dashboard or your PC does not recognize beacons/modem, it usually means that the
STM32 driver is not installed. To install the driver, download it through the link in the top
window in the Dashboard and run the installation file, then click on the link under and
install the driver
Make sure that that:
-
You are programming the modem’s SW to the modem and the beacon’s SW to the beacon
-
You are using SW for Mini-TX, if you have Mini-TX; and you have the SW from the same SW pack,
i.e., the Dashboard SW, modem SW, and beacon SW must be from the same SW pack. Don’t mix
SW releases
If SW flashed SUCESSUFLY, MOVE DIRECTLY TO 4.5.6. If you have some
problems with HEX programming, use DFU programming:
DFU programming or SW uploading is used when HEX SW uploading in the Dashboard
cannot be used. For example, when you are updating from a very old SW version or
when the SW includes major changes to the system and the only possible way to update
the SW is via DFU programming
-
After the DFU SW upgrade, futures SW upgrades can be done in a regular manner via the
Dashboard
-
To start programming, move the beacon’s DIP switch to the DFU programming mode, as described
in the paragraph on
DIP switch modes (DIP switch in Mini-RX and Mini-TX situated inside the body.
Carefully disassemble the body to access it)
-
Download the latest SW package , unzip it, and select the proper version of the SW for your HW and
for your frequency variant. Remember that for DFU programming, you should use DFU SW (DfuSe),
not
Dashboard’s .hex file
-
Download DfuSe
-
Here you will find different versions of DfuSe. v3.0.4 or v3.0.5, whichever works the best for your
Windows:
DfuSe v3.0.4 or DfuSe v.3.0.5
DFU Programming:
4.5.5.1. Put DIP switch into Power = ON , DFU = ON (DIP switch in Mini-RX and
Mini-TX situated inside the body. To switch it, carefully disassemble the
body)
4.5.5.2. Connect the beacon via USB to your PC
4.5.5.3. Run DfuSe
4.5.5.4. Press the RESET button on your beacon
