# Firmware
Guide to flashing your Cartographer probe with new or updated firmware.
### Which Firmware Should I use & What Address Do I Flash To?
#### Firmware Types & Flash Address
Combined Firmware = Katapult + Software: flash at `0x08000000` \
Katapult = Bootloader Only: flash at `0x08000000` \
Software = Cartographer Software Only: flash at `0x08002000`
#### Cartographer Software?
**Cartographer V2 & V3:**\
Cartographer = Scan Only
\
Survey\_Cartographer = Scan + Touch (Firmware 5.0.0 - 5.1.0)\
CartographerV3 = Scan + Touch (Firmware 6.1.0+)\
\
**Cartographer V4:**\
CartographerV4 = Scan + Touch (Firmware 5.1.0+)
#### CAN Speeds
If the firmware has a build available the CAN speed (Baudrate) will be in the firmware name, 250k, 500k, 1M.\
\
Examples:\
`CartographerV3_6.1.0_CAN_250K_full_8kib_offset.bin`\
`CartographerV4_6.1.0_CAN_500K_full_8kib_offset.bin`\
`CartographerV4_6.1.0_CAN_1M_full_8kib_offset.bin`

## Firmware - Archive ⬇
Selecting the correct firmware is essential for the operation of the probe, please check which probe you have, and which mode it is being used in and cross reference the table below.
#### Cartographer v1 RP2040
| Mode | Firmware | Link | Notes |
| ---- | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| USB | carto-rp2040.uf2 | [GitHub](https://github.com/Cartographer3D/cartographer-klipper/blob/master/firmware/v1/carto-rp2040.uf2) | Only USB Compatible - No Katapult Bootloader Required |
#### Cartographer v2 w/ Input Shaper (USB or CAN)
With Cartographer v2, the device will only work in the mode that it was purchased. This is a hardware limitation. The CAN Probe can be forced to work in USB Mode, but is unreliable and requires hardware modifications, this is not something we recommend right now.
**USB Version**
| Firmware | Type | Address | Notes |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| [Katapult\_USB.bin](https://github.com/Cartographer3D/cartographer-klipper/blob/master/firmware/v2-v3/Katapult_USB.bin) | Bootloader (Katapult) | 0x08000000 | |

#### Cartographer v3 w/ Input Shaper (USB/CAN)
Cartographer v3 by default will come pre-flashed for CAN. You can switch between both USB and CAN modes via firmware with no hardware modification required.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.cartographer3d.com/original-plugin/firmware-archive/manual-methods/firmware-update.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
