You can determine if Astro needs an update by following steps 2-4 below. The current firmware number available will be on the Software Release Notes page.
Download the firmware file from the Astro Support page or the Suite.
Connect Astro to your computer with a USB cable.
Power on aircraft with one battery and wait about 15 seconds for aircraft to fully boot.
Using a browser such as Chrome or Safari, open the aircraft's info/update page at http://10.41.1.1 (internet connection is not needed).
In the Update Auterion OS box, click Browse, and select the firmware file downloaded above.
Click Update. (Should take about 10 minutes.)
After the update completion message, verify that the webpage shows a "Release name" that matches the downloaded file and that all the motor LEDs are on.
If the aircraft gives an error message, power cycle the aircraft and try again.
Please do not format Herelink to factory settings! All of Freefly's configurations to make Herelink work optimally with Astro out of the box will be lost. If you are experiencing issues with Herelink, please reach out to us at contact@freeflysystems.com for assistance.
