myCNC-ET10 reflash firmware
- 8 years ago.
WARNING: Unlike updating the myCNC software, the firmware CANNOT be downgraded after a reflash. The myCNC team recommends reflashing the control board firmware as a last resort only, and recommends seeking an explicit confirmation from the support team that the firmware reflash is warranted in order to avoid issues.
NOTE: Make sure to select the firmware for the correct version/revision of your board! Firmware for ET10 boards (R1-R3) and ET10 boards (R4-R5, also known as the ET12) are DIFFERENT. Flashing incorrect version of the firmware will result in a non-functional board. If you're unsure of your board version, please contact myCNC Technical Support prior to the reflash:
