Getting Started with Dust Devil
Caution: Dust Devil uses thru-hole terminals for phase and power connections. If using non-standard hardware, be mindful of the length of fastener used to secure the phase and power leads to avoid unintended shorts.

Google Chrome (version 89+)

Once connected and Cyclone is powered on you're ready to begin configuring and testing in S-Lab. Follow along the S-Lab Guide to be up and running in a few minutes. If you have any questions regarding configuration settings, or other questions about S-Lab, feel free to contact us and we will help you get up and running.
Connecting to S-Labs
Once you have successfully wired up Dust Devil, navigate to the S-Labs page to get your controller setup.
Firmware Update
The Dust Devil firmware update is facilitated using STMicro's internal bootloader and thus requires installing their USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) driver.
You will not be able to update the Dust Devil motor controller firmware without first installing STMicro's driver.
This can be installed using STM32CubeProgrammer software for all STM32.
After installing their software, the DFU in FS Mode device will appear in the connection window after issuing a firmware update request.
