Newer Begodes now supporting firmware updates!?

[AtlasP]

Recently saw buried in another thread that newer Begode wheels with specifically black motherboards are now finally supporting firmware updates! Based on the range of firmwares available through the app (explained below), it appears that we'll be seeing new black-motherboard versions of all(?) Begode wheels moving forward?

One would think this would be major news warranting a top-level thread, and since there doesn't seem to be one, I've created this one--for all your discussion-of-Begode-firmware-updates needs.

Also the following comment copied/pasted here seemed like a good first place to start:

maybe a new topic it's not a bad idea, btw is something super simple that can do anyone, most of the wheels are already covered, you need:

• GW app from www.begode.com/app (app still require some eng translation)
• create an account in app
• a black board on your EUC
• once logged in, fw upgrade require 1m
• WheelersPRO have done a nice video on it, time 55:46 : https://youtu.be/vN1BcVYZRQ4?t=3346

If they do what they've always done, yes. Gotway just has a few board hardware variants - 6 mosfet, 12, 18 (not sure if some older wheels still have extra legacy boards), with the firmware doing the rest to distinguish between wheels. From what I gathered, they always use their latest board sooner or later as long as the wheel is still in production.
