This is a quick one! We have a quick but important firmware update for all RaceCapture and PodiumConnect systems:
Fix problem while writing configurations
2.23.4 fixes:
* An important issue writing configuration files when a large number of CAN channels exist and/or a large Lua script might exist.
* We also fixed an issue where writing a configuration file will fail if writing a configuration that has more CAN bus networks than the hardware supports.
How to Upgrade firmware
Step 1 – backup your current configuration
Using your windows, Linux, or OSX computer, connect to RaceCapture using the USB connection. Save your current configuration to a file by navigating to Setup, and pressing the Save button.
Step 2 – Download the firmware for your device
Download your firmware from http://podium.live/software , ensuring you download the correct firmware for your device and generation (MK2, MK3, etc).
Step 3 – Upgrade your firmware
Navigate to Setup / Firmware and upgrade your firmware using the on-screen prompts.
Step 4- Restore your configuration
Once the firmware is upgraded, go to Setup , Load the configuration you just saved, and press ‘write’ to write it back to your system. You are now upgraded!
Troubleshooting (PodiumConnect/Micro specific)
With PodiumConnect/Micro, if the app has a problem searching when performing the firmware upgrade, try these steps:
* First ensure your system is not connected to 12v.
* Right before browsing for the firmware file, unplug the system from USB
* Now browse and select the firmware file
* Immediately following, plug the system back into USB while holding down the clear button on top of your system. Hold it for 2 seconds after plugging in, then release.
* The system should find the bootloader soon after this.
