Written on December 31, 2008 – 12:14 pm | by bluehash |

The Surveyor SRV-1 robots( the Philips LPC2378 version) have the ability to be programmed remotely via Maxstream Zigbee radios.
The usual way to program the Surveyor SRV-1 is via the lpc21isp utility by issuing the command:
lpc21isp.exe -hex srv1.hex com1 115200 14746
.
To program the robot wirelessly, follow the steps:
1. Download the flash utility from here.
2. You get the following splash screen after unzipping the files and running the exe.
Keep the robot switched off.

3. Browse to the hex file to be downloaded and make the necessary “com” and “baud” changes as shown:

4. Click “Upload file”.This gives the following screen.

5. Now switch on the robot.The file starts loading into flash.

6. Done!
