The goal of this workshop is to enable participants to update the firmware of their PSLab device. The firmware of the Pockes Science Lab is constantly being developed and improved. To benefit from this, the updates must be flashed onto the PSLab board. This process is quick and easy, but can be a little daunting if you have never done it before. In this workshop, we will take a look at the tools and hardware required and carry out the process together.
If you don't want to update the firmware on your device yourself, but just want to have the latest firmware installed on your board, you are also welcome to join us. You will need:
- Your PSLab board (v5 or v6), available for borrowing or purchase during the workshop
- A computer
- A USB cable to connect the board to your computer
- Ideally, a PICKit 3 programmer (v5 only, at least one will be available)
This workshop is led by Marc Nause, contributor of Pocket Science Lab project. Marc has experience with the flash process on Linux and Windows. With macOS and other operating systems we may need to research together how the process works best
