138 Update procedure
For the update procedure it is highly recommended to unplug all servos as the servo can go
to full deflection during the setup. This is because the outputs of your device will not send
out any signals during the update process. In such situation some servos can behave very
strange or unforeseen, especially cheap servos with bad servo software. Using an electric
heli it is also recommended to unplug the motor from the ESC or unplug the ESC or main
battery in case this is not used for powering the radio system (no BEC), so the motor will
not start by accident during or after the firmware update.
You can only download firmware updates when the device is registered/linked to your user
account. When the device belongs to anyone else, a message will tell you. In this case
please contact the BEASTX customer service providing your user account (email address)
and the devices serial number. To make this procedure more convenient you can click the
email link in the StudioX/StudioXm app, so an email with the requesting serial number
will be opened automatically.
If the device is not registered to anyone, click the Register Device button once to link it to
your account.
In the combo box in the middle of the screen you can choose between all available firmware
files for your device. It is recommended to always use the latest/highest firmware version.
Firmware files marked as BASIC will provide the standard firmware that usually comes
with your MICROBEAST PLUS / AR7210BX / NANOBEAST which means the device
will have the flybarless functionality and some little gimmicks like headspeed governor
(usually everything that is necessary to fly a helicopter).
Firmware files marked as PRO or PROEDITION include the basic functionality plus
enhanced features like rescue bailout, automatic stabilization, bank switching or other
features the give you more options and features that may help you flying or that allow to
tweak the system to all your needs. Please note: This firmware is not free of charge as
it gives some additional functions not all people need and not all people want to pay for!
So only if you like to have those features you can upgrade your device to be able to also
request these firmware files. In case your device is not eligible to download the firmware,
you can get to the freakware Webshop by clicking the button below where you can directly
buy the upgrade option for your device.
Once you have chosen the firmware you want to flash to your device and in case the
firmware is unlocked for your device you can click the request button. Now please wait a
