LSS-PRO Firmware Update
LSS-PRO Firmware Update | |
Periodically check for firmware updates for the servos by connecting the arm to the LSS Config, selecting each servo and seeing if a firmware update is available. Note that a firmware update requires that the computer running the PRO Config software is connected to the Internet. Firmware updates can resolve bugs or add improvements. The information in this Wiki (for example the PRO Communication Protocol Page) will always refer to the latest version of firmware (though in certain instances will detail which firmware version of the firmware the feature or function started with).
When a firmware update is available, the logo will turn green, as shown in the image above.. Note: Only a servo connected via USB can be updated and all the other servos on the bus will not be displayed with a green logo unless connected directly via USB. Note: Unless specified otherwise, existing configurations are retained after firmware updates | |
