Firmware installation\update

Before you get too excited and wire everything up, let's take a step back and read the notes down below and update the firmware.

  • This page contains 2 ways to install the latest firmware and configure your blled.
    ”Firmware instalation\update” is the newest way which will redirect you to a githubio page with a more streamlined process.
    ”old firmware instalation method” is the old way, the process is similar but its less streamlined.

  • Onboard LED: New releases of the blled have an onboard led, depending on which variant / revision it might not have it.

  • No Hotspot: No the blled doesnt create a hospot like in modbot’s video anymore. Now after you have flashed the latest firmware you just keep it connected and easily configure it with your computer.

  1. If you have wired up the board disconnect all the wires and bring it to your computer. 

  2. Connect a USB cable to both your computer and the device. If you don't already have it installed, make sure to install the CH340 drivers.

  3. Open the installation page via Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge (or any other Chromium-based) browser, and click on the CONNECT button below.

    Follow the steps on that page. After that, you've successfully set your BLLED Controller!
