AVEE DOWNLOAD TOOL – version 101219 (Dec 10th 2019)

The software in the Avee BlueLink may be updated. This is done by connecting the BlueLink to either a windows compatible PC or a Mac and the Avee Download Tool (ADT) application.

The Avee BlueLink MUST be connected to the computer with the USB cable that was included in your BlueLink kit and the Avee Download Tool (ADT) application.
The Avee Download Tool is an application which is found in three different versions:

• • For Mac (OSX version 10.14 or later)
    The application is found here:ADT
    Copy this file to your application folder and unzip.
    Run the application ADT3.app from the ADT folder.
  • For Windows PC (versions from Windows version 7)
    The application can be downloaded by pressing this link:
    ADT V111219A – Win
  • For Linux: ADT101219C_Linux

HOW TO USE

The Avee Download Tool is installed on your computer by unzipping the executable file (on Windows), put any place in your computer and running it.
On Mac and Linux: unzip the file and move to your application folder and start.

HOW TO UPGRADE THE BLUELINK

After installing the Avee Download Tool, start the application. 
The BlueLink Updater is connecting to our server to get the latest available BlueLink firmware.
Hence: the computer you are using for this task must be connected to internet.

UPGRADING THE SOFTWARE IN THE AVEE MICROPHONE

UPGRADING THE SOFTWARE IN THE AVEE MICROPHONE

The Avee microphone add on has a built in microcontroller which is executing a program to make your Avee microphone add-on work.
The program (or software ) in the Avee microphone add-on has developed during the last two years, and it might be interesting to upgrade this software to the newest version available.

HOW TO DO

The software upgrade is done from the BlueLink module, and takes less than 30 seconds.
To do this, follow the following steps:

1. Connect the Microphone add on to the Avee25 BlueLink Cable (like normal). Do NOT connect the Avee25 BlueLink Cable to the aircraft.
2. Connect the BlueLink to the Avee25 cable.
3. Switch the BlueLink on.
4. After the BlueLink has started, verify that the text ‘No Avioncs Detected’ is shown on the BlueLink screen.
5. Verify that the Microphone add on gets bias power from the BlueLink.
   Do this by pressing the +/- keys on the mic add on – and check that the green led between the keys is blinking when a key is pressed.
   The fact that the led is blinking verifies that the Avee microphone add on gets bias voltage from the BlueLink.
6. Go to the BlueLink Settings menu -> Mic Add on -> Software upgrade.
   From here you can see which software is installed on the Microphone add on, and which software version for the Mic add on is available on the BlueLink.
   Memorize the version installed on the Mic add on.
7. Press ‘enter’ to download the new software to the Avee microphone add on.
   Note: this procedure should never be performed while flying, and it can only be done when the BlueLink is disconnected from the aircraft.
   Program data is now transferred from the BlueLink to the mic add on and stored permanetly there.

   The Avee Microphone add on now has the new software installed.
   This procedure can be done as many times as you want.
