LZX Connect

LZX Connect is the desktop companion app for guided firmware updates across LZX hardware. Update Videomancer over USB-C, flash Scrolls, Diver, and Escher Sketch modules via rear USB DFU, and manage Videomancer program libraries — all from one desktop app.

Requires Videomancer firmware 1.x.x or later. Firmware 1.x.x is currently pre-release. If your device is on firmware 0.1.8, use the manual BOOT button method to upgrade to 1.x.x first. Once on 1.x.x, enable Show pre-releases in LZX Connect settings to see and install pre-release firmware updates.
