Motivation

The microcontroller/sensor is delivered with a standard/demo firmware after purchase.

The installation of our firmware is described below for you to follow step-by-step.

This procedure requires a Windows PC, Linux PC or Mac.


M5Burner Tool

The M5Burner tool is required to install the firmware.

It can be downloaded free of charge from the page https://docs.m5stack.com/en/download.

Versions for various operating systems are available in the "UIFLOW FIRMWARE BURNING TOOL" section. Download the version that is suitable for your operating system.

After starting the M5Burner tool, select "ATOMS3" in the list on the left.

Then look for "Level-Assist Initial Firmware" in the list on the right.

Click "Download" to download the firmware to your PC/Mac.



Firmware installation

If the message does not appear, please contact us at contact@level-assist.com. We will help you set up the device.

Now click on "Burn" to start the firmware installation.


In the dialog that opens, select the port that was displayed in the previous step.
