Note! the firmware was bumped again to 2.19.2 – be sure to download this version instead. We found another very small but significant edge-case around GPS initialization that we needed to fix. Thanks!
We have a small but important firmware update for RaceCapture and PodiumConnect systems, which addresses periodic data corruption issues on the USB data stream.
If you’re primarily connecting via USB for your system (e.g. Raspberry Pi) – you will certainly want to upgrade soon.
How to upgrade firmware
Step 1 – backup your current configuration
Using your windows, Linux, or OSX computer, connect to RaceCapture using the USB connection. Save your current configuration to a file by navigating to Setup, and pressing the Save button.
Step 2 – Download the firmware for your device
Download your firmware from http://podium.live/software , ensuring you download the correct firmware for your device and generation (MK2, MK3, etc).
Step 3 – Upgrade your firmware
Navigate to Setup / Firmware and upgrade your firmware using the on-screen prompts.
Step 4- Restore your configuration
Once the firmware is upgraded, go to Setup , Load the configuration you just saved, and press ‘write’ to write it back to your system. You are now upgraded!
