Updating your Vernier Go Direct® sensor firmware helps keep your devices performing at their best. Firmware updates can add new features, improve compatibility, and fix bugs. If you were prompted in the Vernier Graphical Analysis® app to update, that usually means the update is more critical. We recommend completing these updates as soon as possible.

In this short video, we’ll walk you through how to:

  • Identify when a firmware update is needed
  • Download and install the Go Direct Firmware Updater for Mac or Windows
  • Connect your sensor via USB (updates can’t be done over Bluetooth®)
  • Safely update one sensor at a time
  • Confirm your device is up to date

 

⚠ Important: Firmware updates should only be performed by instructors or IT specialists. Incorrectly performing a firmware update or interrupting the process can cause hardware damage. Always follow these steps carefully.
