Updating firmware from the SimpleBGC32 GUI
This option works if the GPS IMU module is connected to the main gimbal controller by the UART
interface and is fully functional.
1. Connect the main SimpleBGC32 controller to PC (over USB, bluetooth or any other ways).
2. Run SimpleBGC32 GUI and connect it to the main controller.
3. Open "External IMU" tab and configure Basecam GPS IMU as described in the SimpleBGC32 User
Manual (skip this step if it is already configured and works properly)
4. Press the "Show status" button to display information from the device in a new window
5. Press "Firmware update.." button, select *.hex file and press "Open". Firmware update process
starts.
Important note: do not interrupt the updating process - it will make device inaccessible by the UART
anymore!
You still can use other methods to update the firmware.
Updating firmware in USB DFU mode
This method works for experienced users only and requires additional steps to enter device into a
bootloader mode. Please contact our support for more information.
