Introduction - Updating FTC Software Tools

Sometimes the FTC software management tools themselves need updating. This includes the REV Hardware Client and the Software Manager (on the REV Driver Hub).

For other FTC updates, click sidebar links at the right side of this page.

Updating the REV Hardware Client

  1. On a Windows computer connected to the internet, open the REV Hardware Client.

  1. Click the "About" tab, then click "Check for Updates" (green arrow, above). If a new version is available, click to update.

## Updating the Software Manager, on the REV Driver Hub

The REV Driver Hub has a built-in app called the Software Manager, which can automatically update itself (and other FTC-related software). It requires only an internet connection.

  1. Close all apps, and open the Driver Hub's Wi-Fi menu (in Settings, or swipe down twice from top of home screen). Temporarily connect the Driver Hub to the internet via Wi-Fi.

  2. Open the Software Manager app at the Driver Hub home screen (left image, below).

  1. The Software Manager will automatically check for any updates needed, and display the results (right image, above). This may include an update of the Software Manager itself, along with other software.

  2. Touch "Update All" (green arrow, above).

  3. When all is complete, "Forget" the Wi-Fi network used for internet access. Now the Driver Hub is ready for regular FTC use.
