If you have an older version of the Controller Firmware the Emblaser will show up as a USB drive on your computer.

  1. Download the current firmware zip file and extract the contents to the desktop of your computer.
    Current Firmware Version: LINK

  3. Copy the contents of the extracted firmware file onto the Emblaser2 SD drive. Overwrite any files as requested.
  4. Restart your Emblaser 2 by pressing the power button to turn it off, wait a few seconds and then turn back on.

    The firmware will be automatically updated. This may take a few seconds. When complete, your Emblaser2 will perform its startup homing sequence and issue two short beeps when completed.

Trouble Updating Controller Firmware:

Please check your Controller Firmware version and insure you are using the correct update method for the version currently installed on your machine. If your Emblaser appears as a USB drive on your computer, use the ‘Updating Old (Pre DL123) Controller Firmware’ instructions.

For other issues updating, please insure you have extracted the zip file containing the firmware.
