This is a topic to discuss questions and issues related to v1.20 firmware release.
The update is now published. Your Garadget will receive it upon its next reconnect or reboot. You can initiate the process at your convenience by pressing “R” (reset) button.
For information on configuring MQTT, please visit this post.
First, please try to powering your Garadget down and powering it back up.
The best way to do that without putting stress on USB connector is by pulling the power adapter from outlet.
Let me know if this doesn’t get the update through.
Let’s try to rule out connection related issues. Can you please remove M4 screw holding the main enclosure to the mount and power up your unit closer to WiFi router.
Ok, thanks for the update.
There’s a way to flash the firmware locally via USB. I’ll provide the instructions and let you decide if you want to try that process or to mail your Garadget in for service. Are you on Windows or Mac?
To program locally, you’ll need DFU utility. Here are the instructions for Mac. To enter the DFU mode please hold “M” button and without releasing it, click “R” button. Wait for the yellow blinks and then release “M”.
I have the same problem on one of my 2 garadget’s. One upgraded to firmware 1.20 just fine and the other one is blinking magenta and is offline. Is the next step to upgrade the firmware manually - I am trying to underestand your instruction - installed DFU utill on my windows PC and downloaded the binaries - now what next? Please give step by step instructions.
Thx,
