On the Maintenance page, you can see the current firmware version of the Autopilot at the top. The TinyCore version is also displayed here.

Update Firmware

This section allows you to update the Autopilot with new firmware. When a new firmware version becomes available, you will receive it via email. Save the attached file to a location on your smartphone, tablet, or computer where you can easily find it.

Follow the steps below to update the autopilot firmware:

  1. Click Browse and select the firmware file you previously saved.

  2. Then click Start Update.

  3. Confirm with OK.

After a short while, the following message will appear: "The Pcnautic Autopilot is rebooting. Please wait while we reconnect to the web server."

Once the reboot is complete, the main screen with the compass should reappear as normal.

Note: In rare cases, the update may not succeed on the first attempt. If this happens, simply repeat the procedure.
