Anyone try out the 12/7/22 Simple Trace Software update? I don’t seem to have the prompt for the multisided polygon prompt that shows on Instagram. (see pic 1) I confirmed that the update didn’t take by checking the version on the touchscreen. (pix 2 & 3) Anyone have success? Thanks! ![Screenshot_20221211-130421](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/arcdroidcnc/original/1X/955a2f281449b7165aec5a4616df4864828934c5.jpeg) ![PXL_20221211_180056633](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/arcdroidcnc/original/1X/2046eb874f787ebf90f9f6d1be9e694b6803cee6.jpeg) ![PXL_20221211_180023905](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/arcdroidcnc/original/1X/ff7cbfea16f8a2174a1f8e495ce9b0b227bf6ccd.jpeg) ---

@bobplewajr I just did it and It worked just fine for me. I had to do it twice because I forgot to unzip the file the first time. ---

Good to know. Thanks. I’ll download again and try with a different USB drive to see if I can get it. ---

I got the software update to work. As expected it was user error on my behalf. When I extracted the zip file, I had the sub folders & files copied into another folder - not the ROOT DIRECTORY of the USB drive. As a result the Droid could not find the files, and the update couldn’t install. (I obviously forgot that this is how I did the first two update) The new features are great! This thing keeps getting better & better. I’d like to nominate Andrew for the Nobel Prize in the Field of Fabrications. 😂 ![PXL_20221213_004841346](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/arcdroidcnc/original/1X/71c777af5b5756a27b7a0db01b9e55455ed5d224.jpeg) ---

Anyone having trouble installing the January (1/11/23) updates? I unzipped the compressed file to the root directory of a FAT 32 formatted, 16MB micro SD card. (see pic 1 folder and 6 files) ![extracted files](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/arcdroidcnc/original/1X/cec33446f57a62a454faf15f471de87e13895a29.jpeg) Inserted into ArcDroid while it was powered off. Turned on the Droid. For a second, the message “Busy processing, please wait…” pops up, and then the “Home” screen pops up. ![processing](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/arcdroidcnc/original/1X/da5fc06f3d15541c67e2fb66642aa453a297ad65.jpeg) When I check to see the latest versions, I still have the last updates recorded. ![version](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/arcdroidcnc/original/1X/64b5cca928088e064037bbe00be1385840af6b54.jpeg) @Andrew any insight you can share is appreciated. BTW this is the same micro SD card I used for the previous (August) update. After several attempts, I reformatted the card, and still no progress. Thanks! ---

Looks like the update download links were mixed up. Fixed now, try [re-downloading](https://arcdroidcnc.com/pages/downloads) them. Simple Trace update for the pendant should be **arcdroid-pendant-fw** -2023-01-11a.zip and the firmware for the machine should be **arcdroid-control-fw** -2023-01-07a.zip ---
