In this tutorial, I'll cover how to upload new firmware via Wifi for your Half Decent Scale.
To go into SETUP MODE:
- hold your left fingers down on the O button and ▢ button at the same time
- You will see HDS SETUP

To go into Wifi Update Mode:
- Tap the O button to move the cursor to “WiFi Update”
- Tap the ▢ button

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.
