Abstract

As we constantly improve our software to give you the best Connectino-experience, we recommend to regularly update your Connectino with the provided updates. In this tutorial, we want to show you how you can easily hold your Connectino up-to-date.

Requirements

To setup the Arduino IDE for Connectino please use our Initial Setup

Update the Connectino library

With the Connectino library you can access the internal functions to easily communicate over all provided interfaces.

Updating per Board Manager

If you followed the instructions in your Initial Setup the Arduino IDE should always inform you if a new library is available and install it automatically.

Alternative: manual update

  1. download the latest library
  2. copy the “connectino”-folder into your “Arduino/hardware”-folder (on standard-settings: Windows: Computer/Documents/Arduino/hardware | Linux: /home/$USER/Arduino/hardware).
  3. The structure should be like: …/Arduino/hardware/connectino/avr/…

After the next restart of your IDE the library should be loaded.

Update the IoT Controller

Our software for the IoT Controller is steadily improved, to give new possibilities of communication and other cool features. So keep it up-to-date.

To update the IoT Controller download the file at: Connectino FWU

  1. Open your webbrowser and connect to your Connectino, as described in the Initial Setup.
  2. Log into the web-gui and click “Firmware Update”.
  3. Click on Browse and choose the downloaded .fwu-firmwarefile.
  4. Click on Update and wait, till the status says “OK”.

Update without web desktop

If you loaded your own webside onto the Connectino, the regular Webdesktop will be gone. In those cases you should use the fallback desktop as discribed below.

  1. Open your webbrowser and connect to your Connectino.
  2. Insert into your webbrowser your connectinos address and append the path of the fallback desktop: http://connectino.local/LT3/index.html
  3. Click on Browse and choose the downloaded .fwu-firmwarefile.
  4. Click on Update and wait, till the Connectino’s leds turn off and on again.
