Learn how to update the firmware when a new one is released. LIDAR payload should always be on the latest firmware version. The LIDAR payload comes with its firmware. The latest LIDAR payload firmware version is [5.4.0.0.](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IQi5JVj0neHKCf77DZLEmyo1S5vyMihz) Customers will receive new firmware periodically. Follow the steps below to update to the latest firmware.  ### How to check the current version of your LIDAR To check the current LIDAR version of your payload, the first step is connecting to the WebUI of the payload.  #### Connect to the WebUI Install the LIDAR payload into the WingtraOne GEN II payload bay. Plug the power cable of the payload into the USB-C connector on the WingtraOne GEN II and insert the batteries to power on the drone. Power on the LIDAR payload by tapping the power button. Open Wi-Fi settings on your host device (tablet, smartphone, or PC) and look for the wireless network labelled:  **WINGTRA-XXXXXX**  This is the unit’s Wi-Fi SSID and it is located on the device next to the unit’s serial number (for example, a Wi-Fi SSID might look like: WINGTRA-A84F38). For the password of the network use: **WingtraLidar** Next, open up the web browser of your choice and type in the IP address of the LIDAR payload: **192.168.12.1** The following window will appear as shown below. This is the web-based LIDAR payload GUI. ![LIDAR web based UI](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LIDAR%20web%20based%20UI.jpg?width=317&height=668&name=LIDAR%20web%20based%20UI.jpg) #### Check the current LIDAR version To see your current firmware version, look in the upper right part of the interface if you are on a desktop, as shown below. ![LIDAR firmware version](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LIDAR%20firmware%20version.jpg?width=576&height=345&name=LIDAR%20firmware%20version.jpg) To see your current firmware version on a mobile device, open the menu in the upper right of the interface. The firmware version will be displayed at the bottom of the dropdown as shown below: ![LIDAR firmware version mobile-1](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LIDAR%20firmware%20version%20mobile-1.jpg?width=278&height=481&name=LIDAR%20firmware%20version%20mobile-1.jpg) ### How to install a new firmware If the newest firmware release is more recent than your current firmware, you can load the new firmware using the following steps: 1.
