I tried to update my PubMote last weekend and ran into a couple issues, so I wanted to document the process for everybody else.
Go to pubmote.com to update your Mote. They have the latest firmware and most of these instructions there already. They also have a lot of the helpful links related to PubMotes.
- Unscrew your Mote and disconnect the battery from the Waveshare module (the main board with the screen).
- Hold the boot button on the Waveshare and plug it into your computer
- Go to pubmote.com on chrome (other browsers don’t support web serial), hit connect, and select one of the serial connections that pops up (note that Bluetooth isn’t supported for flashing).
- Once connected, you can select a firmware and flash your update as the site instructs.
If anybody sees issues with this, let me know and I’ll make updates!
