Firmware update
Updates to the receiver’s firmware are made via the output channel
5 / telemetry socket using a PC running Windows. You will also need
a USB interface, order No. 7168.6, and adapter lead, order No.
7168.6A or 7168.S, which are available separately.
The programs and files required can be found in the Download area
for the corresponding products at:
www.graupner.de
Connect the adapter lead to the USB interface No. 7168.6. The con-
nectors are reverse polarity protected: note the small chamfers on
the sides. Never use force – the connectors should engage easily.

Starting the "Slowflyer/Gyro receiver update"
We recommend accessing the "Slowflyer/Gyro receiver update" pro-
gram from the "Firmware_Up-grade_grStudio" program. Click on
the "Receiver Downloader" item under "Link" in the left function
menu. (Alternatively, select the "Micro Receiver Upgrade" under
"Menu").
It is also possible to start the associated application program directly.
By double-clicking on the file “micro_gyro_swloader.
exe”. You will find this .exe file in the "Graupner_ PC Software" folder
of the "HoTT_Software VX" package.
A program window will now appear in which you should first set the
"correct" COM port for the USB interface No. 7168.6 in the selection
window. (See following picture)
If you are not sure which port to use, check the COM port in the
"Select Port" window in the "Menu" of the "Firmware_Up-grade_
grStudio" and note down the COM port number for the "Silicon Labs
CP210x USB to UART Bridge" entry – in this case "COM03". (If you
select the wrong port, you will be alerted to this when you read out
the receiver data). Click on "File" to load the corresponding firmware
file named e.g. "GR12_33577_V_XX.bin" from the hard disc ("XX"
stands for the version number).
