==Firmware Loading==
|
| |
|
+ |
There are multiple components to the firmware on an RS3000 (Bootloader, OS, and Application). However the instructions to load them individually or all together are the same. In most cases, all you'll need to do is load the OS and the proper Application file for your needs.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
+ |
Follow the directions below to load firmware onto the RS3000.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
+ |
===Preparation===
|
| |
|
+ |
# Download the Firmware: Bootloader, Firmware: OS, and Appload for this process available in the [[#Software|Software Downloads]] section. You may also need Opticon's [[#Drivers|USB Drivers]], so please download those as well.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Download the appropriate Firmware: Application file for your needs. This is most likely to be the [[#Software|Bluetooth Application]], however there are other Applications available. A complete list can be found in the [[#Software|Downloads Section]] at the bottom of the page.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Extract the RS3000 Bootloader and Firmware - OS zip files, the Appload.zip file, the USB Drivers Installer.zip file, and the RS3000 Firmware - Application files into a convenient folder.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Install [[Appload]] by double-clicking the 'Appload Setup.exe' file, which will start the install wizard. The defaults are fine in most cases, so keep clicking 'Next' until you are finished. Appload will launch at the end of the installation process.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Connect the RS3000 to your PC
|
| |
|
+ |
===Install the Firmware===
|
| |
|
+ |
# Launch Appload if it is not already running.
|
| |
|
+ |
# We first need to choose the correct COM port. From the main Appload window, select 'Settings' > 'Port', then choose the port that says 'Opticon USB Code Reader'.
|
| |
|
+ |
# Now we can start downloading the OS and Application. For each of the .hex files you downloaded and extracted above, please choose 'File', then 'Download', then navigate to and select the file. You should see a progress indicator and the words 'Initializing IRdA' if this is working.
|
| |
|
+ |
# When complete the RS3000 will emit a series of beeps and reboot. When the LED is steady RED (indicating charging) or GREEN (indicating fully charged) the process is complete and you may disconnect your RS3000 from the PC. instruction manuals for the various applications are available for download in the Downloads section.
