Hi!

When I try to check for updates in my device, it tells me “Manually request updates to system firmware”.

Where can I download the latest firmware and find the instructions to upgrade?

Thank you!

@ColOfAbRiX I sent the email yesterday, just forwarded to the email address you have associated with your forum profile too :slight_smile:

The device is noticeably faster. Battery life seemed better as well.

The team is doing great. I would still love to see the feature for finding the drop zone under canopy. I stayed out of tonights happy 4th night jumps due to work… but lemme tell ya, having that feature on a high pull at night would be magic!

How do I get the Equipment Group to appear on the Dekunu? I have defined the Equipment Group in Dekunu.cloud. But it never appears in Jump Config > Equipment to select.

#8

If im not mistaken, this action should be automatic,
how long has it been since inputting the information on the cloud?

Try re-logging into the device using the ‘switch user’ option to pull the info over :slight_smile:

Re-logging in worked like a charm! Thanks!

#11

Where are the options for plane ride alerts? Can’t seem to find them.

#12

@bamwich they aren’t in this latest FW version

#13

It’s the 3rd item listed

#14

Oh my bad, I thought you meant the other ones :smiley: it’s in the cloud, should be under the page for the DZ

#15

I can see it, but no ability to adjust it. Also looking at my home DZ, there are some descriptors that could use adjusting. Where should those request go?

#16

Fire an email off to support@dekunu.tech with what you need sorting out and we’ll get onto it for ya :slight_smile:

Hey @Germanoesilva, try switching user back to your profile, that should pull the info from the Cloud to the device :slight_smile:
