Updating Firmware

A lot of people have been asking how things are going , i’ve been caught up with boat work getting ready for season ahead so things slowed but I have been able to do some testing and release it in BETA 1 for people to test if they want ,you can always reflash the old firmware that is on github if there is something causing you issues versus the original release.

Step 1 – Download ESP32 Flash Tool , you can get this at the following website https://www.espressif.com/en/support/download/other-tools

It is just a zip file , unzip onto your computer in a folder that you can find later.

Step 2 – Download V2 Beta Firmware , you can get the latest and previous firmwares at this address

Step 3 – Run flash tool , in the folder you unzipped to your local drive there should be an exe called flash download tool (version number).exe double click that and you should get a screen like this

Select the above options (Chip type = ESP32, workmode= factory) and click OK

Step 3 – Connect Nauti-Control board to a free USB socket on your PC using a USB C cable as below

Step 4 – Flash Firmware, after the previous two steps the device will be ready to flash you should be presented with a screen as below

Select the firmware using the burger menu highlighted in image above and set the address to 0x0000 , check the other settings including the com port for the nauti-control box.

Once all is set click the highlighted start button . The progress bar should complete and you should see a finished label.

This is flashing complete and you will have updated your firmware .
