Update firmware from PinToMind 3
ℹ️ For the screens to work in the best way possible, the firmware (the "operating system" in the screens) should be updated. If you use PinToMind 3, it is possible to update firmware in screens connected to your account, directly from the administration pages on your own PC.
- Go to "Screens" in the left menu bar, then you will get to the list with your connected physical devices.
- Click on the cogwheel ⚙️ for the screen, which must be online.
If the screen needs a firmware update, you will find a yellow box with information about new firmware available. Press "Install".
NB: Do not interrupt the process, do not turn off the device or pull the plug while the update is in process!
- The screen updates during a few minutes, and does an automatic restart when the firmware is updated.
- Go to the physical screen and check that it has restarted.
