Anyone have success using a Mac to update firmware? Please share. I cannot get Mac or MacBook to open/extract the .bin files.
Thanks
Thanks

I may have got it. I just copied & pasted the bin files on my Lab card root directory. I thought I needed to extract/unzip 1st
From LabRadar:
To Update your LabRadar Firmware to FWA 1.2.7, FWB 1.0.0
Using a SD or SDHC card, 32 gb or less, erase the card. (a full format using FAT 32 is best, for Mac use MS DOS)
Go to: https://mylabradar.com/download/
Open the firmware link and extract the FWA and FWB files.
You should see FWA.bin and FWB.bin. (On a MAC computer you will see zippers on the files, do not open these)
Copy and Paste the FWA.bin and FWB.bin files on the empty card
Insert the card into LabRadar
Turn on LabRadar
It is now updated if it shows the FWA as 1.2.7 and FWB as 1.0.0

Thanks……got it updated. They have a new update, 1.3.3 (?)
Same problem here.. Tried all manner of ways and it doesn't work.. Glad I am not alone!
I have had little success getting this Labrador to work reliably.. I suspect it maybe in the "aiming" of it, so I added an aftermarket peep sight. we shall see if it works. So far I am far from happy with how finicky this chronograph is..

I will try this…. Thx !!
The Texhs at LabRadar responded very quickly to the problems I was having getting the firmware update to work from a MAC download. No brained and took 2 mins. Go to the download website for LabRadar, download the file to your desk top. Clean entirely a 32gb drive, remove all files, drag and drop the two downloaded files to your LabRadar disc, do not try to "unzip". Plug the disc into your LabRadar, turn it on and it should recognize the new firmware. Worked on mine the first time. Key is clean disc. Thx

Make sure you have it set on trigger, not doppler?
