This page details the upgrade.py program for upgrading the Fluke and Scribbler and Scribbler2 robots to use the latest Myro firmware, over Bluetooth. The program starts up a graphical user interface by default, but it can also be used as a command line program (see below for options).
- Download upgrade.py and save to a known location.
- Double-click on the file (or use the Command Line Option, below)
If you have a Fluke purchased before September 2011, you will need to upgrade the Fluke first:
- Select the Fluke option
- On Windows, enter the com port (eg, COM8); on Mac/Linux enter the device path (eg, /dev/rfcomm0)
- Click on the Upgrade button
After upgrading the Fluke, you can then upgrade the Scribbler.
- Select the Scribbler option
- On Windows, enter the com port (eg, COM8); on Mac/Linux enter the device path (eg, /dev/rfcomm0)
- Click on the Upgrade button
Graphical User Interface
To use the upgrader, indicate what you want to upgrade (Fluke or Scribbler) by selecting the appropriate radio button. (Default: Scribbler).
Then, type in the name of your bluetooth serial port, such as "COM4" or "/dev/tty.scribbler" (without quotes).
Make sure you are connected to the Internet so that the tool can download the latest firmware.
Finally, press the "Upgrade" button.
Command Line Options
- Open a console/terminal window.
- cd to the known location
- Enter at the console prompt:
- python upgrade.py
