| 5 | +**TL;DR: If you are upgrading an existing Sensor Watch or Sensor Watch Lite board, you will need to re-flash your board with new firmware to take advantage of the new display.** [Firmware images are linked below.](#flashing-pre-built-firmware) |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +All variants of Sensor Watch — Sensor Watch Pro, Sensor Watch Lite and both the green and blue versions of the original Sensor Watch board — have the ability to drive either the classic Casio LCD, or the new custom LCD designed by Oddly Specific Objects and available from Crowd Supply, but you need a firmware image targeted to your display. Your two options are to download a pre-built firmware image, or to build your own custom firmware with support for the custom LCD. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +Boards ordered on Crowd Supply ship with a special firmware image that can support both displays, but we still highly recommend replacing that firmware with a version targeted to your chosen display. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +### Flashing Pre-Built Firmware |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +For the sake of convenience, a pre-built firmware image for the standard Second Movement firmware is provided here. Select the firmware image that matches your board variant and your choice of LCD: |

| 15 | +* Sensor Watch Lite |
| 16 | + 1. [Original Casio display](/docs/firmware/download/standard_red_classic.uf2) |
| 17 | + 1. [New Custom LCD](/docs/firmware/download/standard_red_custom.uf2) |
| 18 | +* Sensor Watch Pro |
| 19 | + 1. [Original Casio display](/docs/firmware/download/standard_pro_classic.uf2) |
| 20 | + 1. [New Custom LCD](/docs/firmware/download/standard_pro_custom.uf2) |
| 21 | +* Sensor Watch Classic (green boards) |

| 23 | + 1. [New Custom LCD](/docs/firmware/download/standard_green_custom.uf2) |
| 24 | +* Limited Edition Sensor Watch (blue boards) |
| 25 | + 1. [Original Casio display](/docs/firmware/download/standard_blue_classic.uf2) |
| 26 | + 1. [New Custom LCD](/docs/firmware/download/standard_blue_custom.uf2) |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +More custom firmware images are available on the [Prebuilt Alternative Firmware](/docs/firmware/prebuilt/) page. |

| 30 | +### Building Custom Firmware |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +If you want to use watch faces not available in the prebuilt images, uou can also [clone the Second Movement repository](https://github.com/joeycastillo/second-movement) and |
| 33 | +[build your own firmware image](/docs/movement/building/). Make sure to add `DISPLAY=classic` or `DISPLAY=custom` as a flag to make; this will ensure that the built firmware image targets the display you have installed. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +### Second Movement Builder |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +We are working on a web-based GUI for point-and-click generation of Sensor Watch firmware images. |
