Firmware

Which Firmware Should I use & What Address Do I Flash To?

Section titled “Which Firmware Should I use & What Address Do I Flash To? ”

Combined Firmware = Katapult + Software: flash at 0x08000000
Katapult = Bootloader Only: flash at 0x08000000
Software = Cartographer Software Only: flash at 0x08002000

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+)

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

V2 & V3 - Firmware

V4 - Firmware

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.

Mode Firmware Link Notes
USB carto-rp2040.uf2 GitHub Only USB Compatible - No Katapult Bootloader Required

Cartographer v2 w/ Input Shaper (USB or CAN)

Section titled “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.

Cartographer v3 w/ Input Shaper (USB/CAN)

Section titled “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.
