There’s so many new features always being released in new versions it’s hard to keep up! What’s the best way to upgrade my firmware without ordering a new unit?

The firmware is updatable! For now, send me an email. I’m working on a better solution, promise!
UPDATE: see this link for update instructions (and newer versions can be updated easily!):
If you have a recent version of Pixelblaze firmware (v2.18 or above), you can update right from settings. For older versions, keep reading.
To update Pixelblaze’s firmware older than v2.18, first download and unzip this file:

To prevent drive-by firmware updates, Pixelblaze versions before v2.18 can only be updated in AP mode. You might need to put it in WIFI setup mode, give it an AP name+pass, then do the update. To put it in WiFi setup mode, hold…
Email still the right way to get firmware update? What’s new? I’m on v2.16 at the moment

I’m using a 2.7 board that has firmware version 2.16 on it and I’d like to update to be able to use the client mode and UI features if possible.
