How to Update TimoTwo Firmware Over USB

As of the 0.7b firmware release, the TimoTwo CRMX chip in the RR-R2 can be updated using a USB-C thumb drive.

Note

The update-via-usb requires your RR and R2 fixtures to be using software version 0.7B or later.  Download the latest fixture firmware here from Quasar Science.  You can also click here for RR-R2 firmware update instructions.

Important

If your TimoTwo firmware is earlier than v1.0.5.1 the update-over-usb will not work.  You will need to update over Bluetooth using the CRMX Toolbox App. first. Then any subsequent updates can be done over USB.

  1. First, download the latest TimoTwo Firmware.  QS_TT_FW_X.X.X.X.cci (If you download from the Lumenradio website, you must rename the file!)

  2. Copy the file onto USB-C thumb drive that is formatted as MS-DOS FAT32.

  3. With the light powered on and in Manual Mode (i.e. not actively receiving DMX), insert your USB-C Drive.

  4. The light will automatically detect the TimoTwo firmware on the thumb drive
