Are there any instruction available, how to change the server? Just in case it will not work again. I like that ticker so much.

- Download the firmware and updater source from https://afkdata.com/updater/afkupdater_1.6.zip
- In "3.Updater/Code/" open http_client.lua with a text editor
- Near the bottom replace cryptofolio.info with the url of a new host serving a compatible api
- Follow the original procedure to update the device

1. Have device unplugged from windows PC
2. Inside folder 3. run afkupdater.exe
3. Note down the COM ports in the list
4. Plug in Device and Wait a ~ 1 minute, hope windows installs driver for you
5. Press arrow next to COM Port
6. If there is one extra COM port select the new port from list (if not install USB com port driver from folder 1.)
7. Look at Circuit board where USB plugs in
8. Set Yellow or Black based on colour
9. Press List Files  -> may get error this is normal
10. Press List Files again  - no error this time
11. Press Update.
12. Let it do its thing.


Don't need to do folder 2. because this should already be in the device.



Linux or OSX instructions are much more complicated.


EDIT: the target size for http_client.lua is size 3317  - the top box is wrong.
