[V1.25] QRD Ferrox M5 USB Dongle Firmware Version 1.25 Release

 

QRD Ferrox M5 USB Dongle Firmware Version 1.25 Release

Firmware V1.25 improves stability and communication between the QRD FERROX M5 controller and the USB wireless dongle.
This update is strongly recommended for users who have experienced:

• Intermittent wireless disconnection

• The USB dongle LED indicator not turning ON

• Delayed or inconsistent wireless pairing

The update enhances wireless initialization, pairing logic, and LED indicator behavior to ensure more stable and predictable operation.

 

1. Important Notes After Updating

Because the QRD FERROX M5 controller and USB dongle store pairing information, the controller may attempt to auto-reconnect after upgrading.

⚠️ Please do not use the one-click auto reconnect after updating.
The wireless link must be re-established manually.
