The current version of Sync-One2 firmware is v2.3.1.
This is the standard installation from serial number A22F7000 and higher.
The required software and update procedure may be downloaded using the buttons below. As a minimum, you will need
- Instruction document
- Firmware Updater Tool
- Firmware file for Sync-One2
- Depending on your Windows installation, you may also need the Microchip USB Serial driver, which you can download below. Generally, Windows 10 and above computers will automatically detect Sync-One2, but older versions may not and need the driver.
If the update stops partway through with Windows reporting the USB port type is unassigned, check that your anti-virus software has not blocked the port.
** NOTE: If you tried the update and it failed, and your Sync-One2 went into API control instead, read the instructions to see how to enter firmware update mode.

Firmware version numbers
The firmware version number is broken down into three sections of…
major . minor . patch
A major version is accompanied by significant new features and/or a change in the underlying hardware.
A minor version adds new features, either as part of the development plan or a customer requested feature.
A patch update is a solution opportunity to correct an unrequested feature – or a bug fix.
Customer specific customisation requests can be made if there is something you need for your environment. These can be rolled into the main firmware but only activated, on a permanent basis, by using a feature code via API interface on a per serial number basis.
