      How-to Update your R3 Pro V2 or R3 Pro Firmware

      The ROCK R3 Pro V2 and R3 Pro LiDAR units use the same firmware. Here are instructions for updating their firmware.

      Updating R3 Pro V2 and R3 Pro Firmware

      1. Download available firmware update from your ROCK Cloud account.
      2. Make a folder on your USB.
      3. Name it "update" (all lowercase).
      4. Put the zipped firmware file into the "update" folder - DO NOT UNZIP/UNCOMPRESS THE FIRMWARE FILE
      5. Return your USB to your R3 Pro V2 or R3 Pro. Turn on the LiDAR unit by pushing the button once.
      6. The firmware update will automatically initiate. It takes about a minute to complete. 
      7. The LiDAR unit will shut off when it's done and the firmware file will have been removed from the USB assuming it was a successful update.
      8. Then start the LiDAR unit again when you are ready for data collection and you're good!

      If you have missed previous firmware updates on your R3 Pro V2 or R3 Pro LiDAR unit, you should complete sequential firmware updates.  For example if your LiDAR unit has firmware 2.00.03, you should first update the unit to firmware 2.00.04, then to 2.00.05.  Previous firmware releases can be found here.
