Updating VFT Firmware

To update the VFT Firmware, first check the firmware version of your VFT by comparing the firmware version number that appears in the VFT Configurator software and the version number at the bottom of this page.  If the firmware here is higher than the firmware in the software, it might be time to update your firmware for the most up to date functionality.  Please know that updating the firmware will reset your config settings.

Once you verify that you need to update the firmware, click the button Enter Flasher Mode.  

NOTE:  If you are having trouble getting the software to enter the flasher mode, disconnect the device and locate the two jumpers on the VFT Control Board. Move the jumper on the left down one pin, and reconnect the device.  This forces the device into flasher mode.  

When you click to Enter Flasher Mode, your device will disconnect briefly to reboot, and will reconnect.  The device will now be labeled Invictus Flasher, and the Enter Flasher Mode button will turn green and display "Ready to Flash." Click Flash Firmware.  

Navigate to the location where you downloaded the firmware .bin file.  Select it, click open, and the firmware update will begin.  

Once the firmware finishes flashing, the device will disconnect and reboot again.  You should see the updated firmware version number in the device section of the software.

If you used the jumper to force the device into Flasher Mode, be sure to disconnect the device from USB, and return the jumper to the original position.  You can now reconnect and use the device.  

NOTE:  Your config files will be reset by the update.  You'll need to load a saved config or create a new one.
