How To Install:
Updating via USB
You’ll do an update via USB using the following steps: After downloading, DO NOT UNZIP THE FILE!!!
Copy the blue .bz2 file above onto a usb stick (it must be formatted as fat 32 or ntsf). Click the flyout menu (three bars on top left), general, under firmware click ‘UPLOAD’. Select the 1.3 file.
If you are on firmware 1.0.8 or lower, it may ask for a password. the password to update will either be buildbotics or onefinity

(Visual) Added a visual change of the logo header and IP address/ssid/firmware version in the header
(Setting) Added to the ‘reset configuration’ to include choosing which Z slider you have currently installed (Z-16 original or the new Z-20 Heavy Duty).
If non of the above matters to you, by all means, stay on 1.0.9.
If anyone is on 1.1.0 or 1.1.1, we recommend flashing the SD card, rather than just updating. If you are on 1.0.9 or lower, or 1.2.1, and have never installed 1.1.0 or 1.1.1, you are good to just update rather than a full flash.
If you are on a firmware and it’s working great for you, great! Simply don’t update. If you’ve read the change log and it includes bug fixes or enhancements you want, Great, go ahead and update.
If you want to flash back to any particular firmware release, great! Go ahead and visit our github and flash the sd to any firmware version you prefer.
As always, the choice is yours.
I recognize I am coming from 1.1.1 and thus need to do the SD card reflash i have been avoiding…
My question is, can I backup my configuration before the flash and restore the onefinity.json file after the flash so I am not forced to write down all the spindle settings and various tweaks that I have done over the years?
Fixes happened between any alphas and this final release. If you have any beta or alpha releases, we recommend updating to the final release. This is a pretty universal principal across all technology.
I’m ready to update with the exception that on your header you are still listing the 1.2.1 firmware for x-35/x-50 BB controller. I am assuming this just hasn’t been updated to show 1.3 ?
Question for OF support. I am still running on 1.0.9.
It has run flawlessly since I updated to it quite a while ago. Shortly after it was released. Is there any reason that you can think of, for me not upgrading and just staying with 1.0.9?

Hey Kevin,

So I would judge on the changes list regarding your situation.
Mainly, an upgrade from 1.0.9 to some higher version makes sense if you
I have the same question as GrandpaDan. More importantly if I totally screw up the new SD card, can I simply put the original SD card back in resume my original use?
So is 1.3.0 the latest available? I see in this forum in several areas that mentions 1.3.0 is outdated. Is it the additional extension indicating it is outdated (ie RC1 and Alpha) where .tar. is the latest? Correct me if I’m wrong, this forum is the only location to download the latest firmware and not available on the website. At the top of this string in big blue bold lettering it says 1.3 Update and there is a link above that with a blue square that says Latest Firmware - are they the same link/file/firmware?
I’m upgrading from 1.1 with much much much much much fear however the issues in 1.1 outweighs my anxiety of taking a controller apart and reflashing stuff. Any input is greatly appreciated.
New here. Bought a two year old, New-In-Box, never installed, x-35 Woodworker a few weeks ago. Got it set up and carved the “Team Onefinity” sign. Now I’m looking at the firmware version of 1.0.7 and am trying to upgrade via USB method to latest 1.3.0. Got the message that says “Firmware Updating - Loss of power can …” It’s been close to 20 minutes? Looks like it hung…
Just installed 1.3.0 flashing the drive. It see’s the wifi, but after typing in pw, it doesn’t connect after restart. What gives? it’s 20 ft from hotspot.
