Known Issues List:

Random and very occasional sync loss in Trolling Motor Mirror Mode. When this occurs, it will usually be off by + or - 90 Degrees. Current work around is to simply re-sync by long pressing the right button in Trolling Motor Mirror, then center the trolling motor and then long right press to re-sync.  Once re-sync is complete, the settings should hold until the next power cycle of the unit.

 

Firmware Update Instructions:

Start with a download of the attached .zip file link and unpack to your downloads folder. 

Once there, you will likely need to install the Silicon Labs CP210x usb to serial driver. Just right click the "silabser" setup information file and select "Install." 

Once this has been installed, just hook up the 5 Pin to USB cable to the 5 Pin connector on the back of the foot control and run the dual firmware update program:

The update program will launch and it automatically polls the .lpt ports looking for the foot pedal. Once it finds the port that the foot pedal is attached to, there will appear a big green button at the top that says Flash Firmware. Click this button to begin the flash.

You will then get the following prompt. Select Yes to continue. 

The device will automatically cycle through twice, once to clear memory and the second time to load the firmware. You will see the rainbow light display multiple times during the process. Once complete you will receive the following prompt:

Now disconnect the USB cable. Unfortunately for this update you will need to reset the Clearance and Park position as well as the Zero Set to the keel of the boat. We also recommend turning power off to the foot control AND the motor by cycling power to your entire boat.
