Im gonna try to update my used smarty i just bought can anyone out there put the step by step directions in Lamens terms im a little confused

 

Anybody????

 

Here is what is needed to update your smarty software. All the files are available at http://madselectronics.com/download.html.



Start off by making a new folder on your computer desktop and name the new folder “smarty” This will make it easier to find the files after download.



You will need 3 downloads.



First you need to download the driver. This file is compressed so you will need to extract the files after download.



The driver is here. http://www.madselectronics.com/downl...DM_2.00.00.zip



The driver install directions are here (please read before you try to install the driver) http://www.madselectronics.com/downl...tallation..pdf







Then you need the smarty usb. This is the program which allows you to download the files into smarty. http://www.madselectronics.com/downl.../SmartyUSB.exe



When you go to update smarty you cant just hit the send button, you need to load the software into the smarty usb and then hit the send button.



file 2. open 3. look in the smarty folder to find the smte file.


Then you have the actual smarty software which is compressed and needs to be extracted.

I hope this makes it easier for you to understand.

 

I opened a Desktop file Smarty save the CDM 2.00.00 file in there extracted all, and hooked my smarty up and the computer goes "da dig" sound but doesent pop up with found new hardware. and http://www.madselectronics.com/downl...tallation..pdf goes to an error page. What else am i missing???

 

HEY Bob Wagner?

 

These directions for this down load process are not very thurow at all, and i cant get no help, this is edited by admin

 

When I done mine, I downloaded ALL of the files into a directory "Smarty", and then extracted them to another folder "Smarty Unzipped". After that, it went pretty smooth.

If you already have them downloaded, delete them and start all over.

 

I'd recommend looking at this page:

The last paragraph describes what you have to do before you plug in the smarty.

the chances that your smarty even needs to be upgraded are very slim

did you check the software version that is in your smarty now.

the display should read v1.20B D1.07A
