BeeScales.io’s central unit is basically the heart of the scale. It’s a tiny computer that has the ability to connect to the internet via the built-in SIM card. And just like any other computer, it can receive updates with the latest version of the firmware. By updating the firmware, you can add new functions and features for your scale, always keeping it up to date with the latest innovations and developments. This means that your bee scale will always compare to the newest products on the market. Updating your firmware is quick and easy: all you have to do is connect your scale to your computer and upload the new firmware.
In case your computer does not recognise the central unit, it does not have the appropriate drivers for USB serial communication via FTDI chip. Please download the drivers here: https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/
Before you can start the update process, you must download the diagnostic program BeeScales.io Diagnostic Tool. Please download the program here:
