Installing the firmware

When your controller arrives it will be in a 'sleeping state' you just need to plug it into your network and head to http://baldrickboard.local (if your DNS doesn't accept that then just look for it on your network)

First Firmware

How to install​

To put it simply, press the button that says Lets Go then go and have a brew, the controller will connect to our server, download the latest firmware and automatically install it, once it's done the page will refresh and you can start connecting pixels.

It's not working?​

You must plug the board directly into your network for the initial firmware download (or make sure your computer can give it an IP address and internet access).

How do I update after that?​

when you go to the Web interface and look at the stats section, you'll see the version number, if there is a new version, you can click that and it will automatically update in a similar interface to how this initial install works
