Install Motion Studio

Motion Studio Setup

Download and install the Motion Studio application (Windows 10 or newer required). When launched, Motion Studio will automatically check for updates and verify the presence of the USB driver. If the driver is missing, it will be installed automatically.

  1. Open the Motion Studio application.
  2. Connect a reliable power source, such as a fully charged battery, to the motor controller.
  3. With Motion Studio open, connect the powered motor controller to your computer via USB.

Firmware Update

Once Motion Studio detects the motor controller, it displays the current firmware version in the Firmware Version field. Each time the software starts, it checks for a newer version of itself, which always includes the latest firmware. If an update is available, it is downloaded and shown in the Firmware Available field.

Do not interrupt the update or disconnect power while it is in progress, or the motor controller may become unusable.

  1. If a new firmware version is available, click the Update button to begin the update.
  2. During the update, the onboard LEDs will flash while the flash memory is erased and rewritten. Wait for the update to finish.
  3. After the update is complete, the motor controller will reset. Click Connect Selected Unit to reconnect.
