HOW TO UPDATE SOFTWARE ​

WARNING

  • It is recommended to back-up the program files (.wsl) inside the tablet UI before the system update.

1. Rainbow Robotics' system update is a two-step process. ​


UI update through APK install → System software (control box) update


2. Backup Program file ​

Connect the tablet and personal / business PC and obtain the program files (.wsl) from the path below and back them up.

  • It is recommended that you back up the acquired files before proceeding to the next step.

Tablet > Android > data > com.rainbow.cobot > files > work > GET .wsl files


3. UI Program Update ​

Rainbow Robotics' tablet UI program is distributed in the form of APK.
This is the same installation file as a regular Android application. Therefore, UI program is updated by moving the installation APK file to the tablet and installing it.

WARNING

  • Since the program files (.wsl) are also deleted when the existing application is deleted, back up the program file in step 1.2 before proceeding with this process.
  • When updating without deleting the existing application, program files (wsl) and other settings are maintained. Nevertheless, it is recommended to back up the 1.2 process

Copy the distributed APK file into Table → APK install
