steps
what you'll need: USB flash drive (USB-A, FAT/FAT32) or ARRI Lighting Service Manager (ALSM v5.6.1) via Ethernet

2Copy the .upd firmware file to the root directory of the drive.
3Set the fixture USB Mode to 'Normal' in the fixture menu.
4Insert the USB drive; the fixture auto-detects the update file and displays a list.
5Highlight the file and press the encoder knob to begin installation.
6Do not remove the USB drive until the fixture confirms the copy is complete.
1Install ARRI Lighting Service Manager v5.6.1 on Mac or PC.
2Power on the fixture and connect via Ethernet cable.
3ALSM auto-discovers the fixture; navigate to the 'Firmware Update' tab.
4Select the fixture in the left column and click 'Update Firmware'.
5Do not disconnect power or the Ethernet cable until the update completes.
GotchaOrbiter requires a Bluetooth 5.0USB dongle for LiCo app control; this is separate from firmware update.
GotchaSkyPanel X21/X22/X23 array setups should be updated fixture-by-fixture before grouping.
GotchaSkyPanel Pro requires LiOS 3.2 or higher; fixtures running older firmware must update before use with new ALEXA modes.
