Updating a LATITUDE-MDR or LATITUDE-SIDEKICK
1. Run the RTFW Program.
Note: Always run the Firmware Updater application BEFORE attaching the LATITUDE to the computer.
2. Make sure the LATITUDE device is not powered and that no motors are attached.
3. Connect the USB cable from the LATITUDE to your computer. The LATITUDE should power
up.
Some PCs do not supply the full 5V to USB devices. If the LATITUDE doesn't power up from USB alone, attach
external (~12V) power also.
4. The program will now detect and connect to the LATITUDE. You should see, “Connected to
Device” in the program.
5. In the “Which Device to Update” section, select LATITUDE from the drop down menu.
6. In the “Firmware” section, if you are presented with a choice, select the firmware you would
like to flash onto the device. NOTE: we always advise you choose the highest (non-Beta)
version.
7. Click the “Update Device” button.
