Update instructions

It is recommended to keep your FaultyCat updated to ensure its correct functionality. The firmware can be updated manually with a computer.

  1. Connect the board to your computer via USB.

  2. Enter the board to bootloader mode. This will open RP2040’s mass storage folder on your computer.

  3. Download the latest faultycat_vX.X.X.X.uf2 file.

  4. Drag and drop the firmware.ino.uf2 file into RP2040’s mass storage folder. The mass storage folder will be closed once the firmware is uploaded correctly.


Bootloader mode

Bootloader mode is useful when the board is not working properly and the firmware must be flashed. Enter bootloader mode by following the button sequence:

  1. Press and hold the BOOT button, then turn on the board by either:
  • Slide the power switch (SW2) to ON.
  • Plug the board into a USB port while SW2 is set to ON.
  • Perform a hardware reset by pressing the RESET button.

  1. This will open RP2040’s mass storage folder on your computer.
