what you'll need: USB via BB&S Software Uploader; firmware is a .hex file loaded through the fixture USB port
1Download the BB&S Software Uploader tool from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1oe0u9YLX84cOM2it69dlyrq6jChNCHii
2Download the 'Latest Software' .hex file from the Area 48 Studio entry on the downloads page
3Connect fixture to PC via USB
4Run BB&S Uploader, select the .hex file, and flash
GotchaThe downloads page lists 'Area 48 Studio', there is no plain 'Area 48' listed separately; the Studio variant is the current product
GotchaThe GDrive 'Latest Software' link for Area 48 Studio is a direct .hex file (not a folder); the version number could not be read from its filename via web scraping, only the raw hex content was accessible
GotchaA related Area 48 Soft firmware folder shows V2_1_00.hex (Feb 2017), but this may not apply to the Studio variant
GotchaThe BB&S Software Uploader installer folder dates from 2021; no newer version of the tool was found
