Software Update
ATTENTION: An update will reset the WLAN settings, the programs and the axis settings. It is recommended that you save the settings beforehand, for example by taking a screenshot. The software can be updated via WLAN. To do this, download the new software from our Wiki HERE LINK. The .zip folder contains the file LitttleFS.bin and Firmware.bin. Unarchive the folder. To carry out the update, connect to the control system via WLAN and open the Advanced Settings window. Log in here with the user name and password "admin". The "Select File" button then appears under Firmware Update. Click on the button and then select the LittleFS.bin file first. Then click on "Upload" and confirm the message. It may now take a short moment and the control system will then restart.
The update resets the WLAN settings of the control system. If necessary, you must restart the control system several times until only the default WLAN network iJCxxxx is visible. Connect to the WLAN and navigate to the Advanced Settings page again. Log in and select the "Firmware.bin" file. Click on "Update" again and confirm the message. The control system is then restarted. If the update was successful, the new software version number is shown on the display.
