Enable "Developer Mode" on the smart controller by navigating to Settings → About Phone → Build Number and tap at least 7 times on Build Number. You will receive a message stating “You are now a developer”. Once you finish this step you need to enable USB debugging in the settings.
Go into settings and scroll down to Developer Options. Once there, you will see USB debugging with a toggle switch to the right of it. Toggle the switch on. You may now run the update tool again.
The smart controller may prompt the user with a message reading “Allow USB debugging on this computer?” if it is the first time updating from that computer. Press yes to proceed. You will only need to allow USB debugging one time on each device.

Updating WisprGroundControl and Wispr Flight Firmware
Periodically Wispr will release software and firmware updates that the customer will need to know how to receive so that their drone is always flying with the latest and greatest we have to offer.

Updates for it will only effect settings and elements within the app. Flight firmware updates are less frequent, yet very important updates that can effect flight characteristics.
