3. Select “Check for updates” under the Update Utility. The system will prompt the user
to power off the EchoSky Mobile to prevent interference with the WiFi data download.
4. Power off the EchoSky Mobile by tapping the power button, then tapping it and holding
it until the handset powers off.
5. Restart the EchoSky Mobile. During the rebooting process, the companion computer
will download the update and cache it for transfer to PRISM. Restart the WattsQGC
application and allow it to fully connect to the RPA (about 30 seconds).
6. Access the Aircraft Settings and PRISM menu again. Verify that the new firmware
version shows in the drop-down menu under the Update Utility.
7. Select the new firmware version from the drop-down menu and tap on “Update,” then
slide the slider to confirm. This will now begin the updating process.
8. The update will take approximately 5 minutes to install and initiate the new firmware.
During this process, it will disconnect from the EchoSky Mobile RPS.
Do not
disconnect the power from PRISM during the update process! Once the process
is complete, the drone will restart and the vehicle will become connected again. Now
verify that the new firmware is active by verifying the PRISM Version on the same
menu screen.
NOTE:
Updating to any other firmware that has not been tested & inspected by WATTS INNOVATIONS and specifically
listed on the Watts Innovations Knowledge Base will void your warranty.
NOTE:
PRISM’s autopilot software is based on Ardupilot; however, users should NOT install stock Ardupilot into PRISM.
This will remove the plug-and-play functionality of PRISM and will void your warranty.
