firmware, please refer to the following steps.
（1）Connect the uArm Controller to the computer with a usb cable.
（2）Turn on the switch and the uArm Controller power indicator lights up

（3） Download XLoader xloader.russemotto.com/
（4）Download the hex-controller-vision.ino.hex
http://bit.ly/2NPbOY1
click the link
http://bit.ly/2XCfh0C
to learn how to download single directory from GitHub.
（5）Open XLoader and select your controller's COM port from the drop down menu on the lower left.
（6）Select the appropriate device from the dropdown list titled "Device".
（7）Check that Xloader set the correct baud rate for the device: 115200 for Mega (ATMEGA2560).
（8）Now use the browse button on the top right of the form to browse to your hex file.
（9）Once your hex file is selected, click "Upload" The upload process generally takes about 3 seconds
to finish. Once completed, a message will appear in the bottom left corner of XLoader telling you how
many bytes were uploaded. If there was an error, it would show instead of the total bytes uploaded.
Steps should be similar and may be done through the command prompt.
