3. For hardware version 3 and 3.1 unzip and copy files bootldr.cfg and lss3.bin to FAT32 formatted micro SD-card. For higher hardware versions 3.2, use the same bootldr.cfg file but lec32.bin file instead.
4. Insert SD-Card into the controller’s SD-Card slot.
5. Controller is automatically searching for update files every time you turn it on. In case your controller is still ON, turn it off.
