In this tutorial, I'll cover how to upload new firmware via Wifi for your Half Decent Scale.

To go into SETUP MODE:

To upload a new firmware via wifi:

First, download the wifi firmware image, to your computer or your mobile device. We'll call this the "computer"

Mobile devices are very handy for updating the scale (ie iPhone, iPad, Android Device)

With your computer, connect to the "Decent Scale" Wifi hotspot

With your computer, open a web browser, and go to http://192.168.1.1

Specify the firmware file you previously downloaded and upload it.

The scale will reboot after the upgrade

To confirm the upgrade worked:

Go into HDS SETUP mode (remember, hold down O and then also tap ▢ when you see the HDS message)

Go to ABOUT and read the firmware version, which should now equal what you just uploaded.
