Can't Update Pixelit Firmware via Update & Backup

[celsoluiz81]

Hello ,

I am running Pixelit version 2.5.2 for a while now without any issues. As of late, my displays keeps reminding me to update to latest version (2.5.3). I followed the link to the firmware repository and downloaded the latest version of the firmware for my particular ESP32 setup (8266).

Next, I navigated to "Update & Backup", selected and uploaded the .bin file using the upload field under "Firmware". As soon as I do this, I see the word "Reconnecting" at the top of the screen and after a couple of seconds the page reloads.

When I return to the Dashboard, the version is still 2.5.2 and the rainbow arrow is still showing. I, therefore, conclude that the update did not take place. I have since tried different firmware flavors (like for example: generic, etc), but no joy.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Am I missing something? Or do I need to pull my Pixelit off the wall and reinstall the newest firmware via USB every time there is an update?

Thank very much. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Mhmmm, no you don't need USB, we have OTA Updates who works normally without any problem. Are you sure, u select the right firmware file? Which ESP and which devboard do you use?
