Updated firmware for mightyZAP 56mm stroke lineup is just release. To optimize your mightyZAP performance, you are strongly requested to update your old version firmware.
- Make sure to download correct model named firmware for your mightyZAP. Download the concerned firmware correctly according to your servo model.
- Refer to the update manual. [Manual download]
- For firmware update, make sure to install 'mightyZAP manager' software v.1.0.6 on your PC and you need to have IR-USB01 PC USB interface for PC connection.
- For those who use older version mightyZAP manager software, here is the download link for 'mightyZAP manager' software v.1.0.6.
Caution
- Make sure to download correct model named firmware for your mightyZAP. Download the concerned firmware correctly according to your servo model.
- Update single servo only. Do not update with multiple qty of servo motor under serial connection(daisy chain) at the same time. Otherwise, it may occur some error.
- In case that incorrect firmware is installed, please process the update with correct firmware update file again.
- Before update, make sure if all wirings(communication wire, power wire) are properly connected between IR-USB01 & Servo / between PC and IR-USB01. Then, please do not touch them while updating as it may occur fatal communication error. (please contact factory for this case.)
What is updated?
| Update | Before | After | Purpose | |
| PID value improvement | - | PID value Improved | Minimize intermittent jittering at motion end | |
| Overload shutdown level | - | Less sensitive overload shutdown feature | To prolong Overload shutdown trigger time | |
| Input voltage error range | 12V lineup | Out of 9V~13V range | More than 13V (Lower input voltage error is removed, but min. voltage should be 6.5V to operate mightyZAP.) | For users who want to use mightyZAP at lower voltage. At lower voltage, force & speed will be lowered too. |
| 7.4V lineup | Out of 6V~8.9V range | More than 8.9V (Lower input voltage error is removed, but min. voltage should be 3V to operate mightyZAP.) | ||
| Overload shutdown reset | After overload shutdown, servo motor needs to be turned on again manually. | After overload shutdown, system recovery can be made by "Restart" command. | For easier system recovery after overload protection | |
