Hi,

I have been using the reflow-kit and find it to be an excellent time saver. Great product.

Unfortunately I tried to upgrade the firmware and think I messed up.

I have the firmware files from the site but there are no instructions on how to apply the upgrade.

Would it be possible to have some details on how to apply the new firmware.

Thanks,

1. Download Firmware upgrade file from website
2. unzip file to any folder on your Windows PC
3. navigate to this folder and execute: MegaLoad.exe (no installation required)
4. File to be program in the Flash: main_44-1.2.3.hex
5. File to be program in the EEprom: main_1.2.3.eep
6. BootLoader Lock Bits: all NOT activated
7. Comm Setup: select COM port for serial communication, Baudrate setting: 9600bps
8. EEprom Programing: activated
9. BootLoad on Reset: activated
10. connect serial cable to controller and PC COM port (-> step 7)
11. connect the controller to power
12. Upgrade automatically starts, progress is shown in message window - wait until finished
13. done!

Good Luck!!!!

Hi,

Many thanks for the reply.

Can you please confirm that I use the file main_44-1.2.3.hex. When I unzip the upgrade file there is a file with a higher number also. main_49-1.2.3.hex.

I just want to make sure which file to use.

Thanks.

Hi,
the number is just the country code: 44-English 49-German
Software version is V1.2.3 for both languages.

Kind regards
