Update Instructions

 
Step 1: Update Bootloader
This only needs to be done one time. If you have already done it, proceed to Step 2.

Using the old update method please update your KordBot using this bootloader firmware:
kb_bootloader.dfu (29.2 KB)
(WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THIS ON WINDOWS)

If you need a refresher on how to achieve this, follow along with this video:
KordBot Tutorials - How to Update Firmware

 
Step 2: Update Firmware
This is the only step you need to do if you have already updated your bootloader.

  • Scroll to the bottom of this topic and download the most recent firmware file.
  • Copy the file onto a FAT32 formatted SD Card and then insert the card, gold contacts facing up, into your KordBot.
  • Connect USB and power up, You should see some text on the screen showing you that KordBot is updating. The update process should take around 15 seconds.
