I have just tried to upload the latest firmware, did the first two files OK but now I don’t have the upload file button. I have tried applying the update, not change, so tried restoring the factory defaults, still no upload file button.
I have been getting G2/G3 errors, thats why I came looking for any firmware updates

Hi Dave,
That is strange the button has disappeared, can you send some screenshots to sales@ooznest.co.uk?
Best Regards

Hi Dave,
I ran into a similar problem. When you have the browser screen at a lower resolution, ie split screen, the upload button disappears. Try full screen or higher resolution.
Hope it helps,

Hi, I just updated the machine, but lost all my settings. Like steps per mm and the connectivity to the devise. Might be good to add a note about this in the tutorial.

Your Youtube video regarding setting up a wireless access point states the need for version 1.0.4 for the firmware. There is no version 1.0.4 at present. Im assuming 1.0.3 will be OK.
Cheers
