Hardware 4.1 Adapters

4.1 Adapter Updates
    •  New Bluetooth firmware.
    •  Stronger signal strength.
    •  Faster connection, re-connection and data retrieval times.
    •  Only compatible with BLE Adapters and App version 9.6.8+.
    •  Removed the Adapter Heartbeat. A disconnected App is now detected using Bluetooth rather than the heartbeat.
    •  Removed the App heartbeat to the Adapter. A disconnected Adapter is now detected using Bluetooth rather than the heartbeat.
    •  Two hardware versions:
        •  A manufactured version that performs a hardware Bluetooth factory reset (4.1).
        •  A 3.1 converted version that performs a software Bluetooth factory reset (4.1-C).

Note - Updating a 3.1 Adapter requires the Adapter to be sent in with a Firmware Update order due to the need for special hardware. It cannot be updated with the Firmware Update Program.

Mark - I sent my 3.1 adapter in to you for the 4.1 update. Everything is working fine and seems to be more responsive. I occasionally get a dialog box at startup telling me that a 3.2x firmware update is available.  I have simply ignored. What should I do?  Thanks

Don - Your updated 4.1 firmware version was 3.22.5. We are now on 3.23.0. You can either update this yourself or you can send it in for a free upgrade. Just note that this is a 3.22 firmware on the printed order when you send it in.

Pardon my confusion.
If I have 3.23.0 I actually have the latest version of the 4.1 Firmware ?

Hello, What is the turn around time for the Hardware update?  I connected my Blue Fire this morning and it said I needed to update to the latest firmware and then crashes the app.

Leaving for a month long trip in 3 weeks....

Ryan, have you looked into updating the firmware via a Windows computer download, the update to the dongle via a suitable USB cable?
I know some have found that challenging,  but if you track Mark's instrctions detail by detail, it may be your solution.   I know I have done updates this way at least 3 times over the years.

Thanks!  Yes, I updated to the latest Ipad App and latest firmware and I'm back working.  Thanks again!
