Part II
Maintenance and repair of the
eBee X
Goal of this section: This section describes how to update the ac-
companying software and on-board firmware, keep your drone in
good working condition and perform small repairs such as cracks in
the airframe.
11.11 Updating the eBee X’s software and firmware
Occasionally, senseFly releases an eMotion software and eBee X firmware upgrade
to provide additional features to our users or to correct potential issues. eMotion
will check for new versions during start-up¹⁷ and will display a message with up-
date instructions if a new version is available.
We also recommend that you check my.senseFly¹⁸ regularly for updates to en-
sure you have the latest version of the software. Download the installer from
my.senseFly and follow the installation procedure described in your eMotion user
manual. You do not need to uninstall the previous version before installing the
new one.
It is important that the drone’s firmware and eMotion version are kept in step.
senseFly will always release eMotion and firmware updates together. Make sure
that you keep both up-to-date and aligned.
To check which version of eMotion you have installed, click About eMotion on its
Welcome page. Your eBee X’s firmware version is also shown in eMotion when it’s
¹⁷ provided that there is an internet connection
