Firmware Upgrade

Keeping your Quantum device updated ensures you get the latest features, the best performance, and improved stability. Firmware updates improve the internal software of your device – they’re not the same as app updates on your phone.

There are two ways to update:

• Using the PeekSmith app (iOS or Android)
• Using the MagiScript Editor (desktop browser with Bluetooth)

Update with the PeekSmith App

You’ll need at least version v6.2.62 of the app. Here’s how to update:

• Update the app –  Download or update the PeekSmith app from the App Store or Google Play. Make sure you have v6.2.62 or later.
• Log in –  Make sure you’re logged in with your Apple ID or Google account .
• Go to Settings –  In the PeekSmith app, tap “Settings” > “Connect Devices” > “Quantum” .
• Connect Quantum – Tap “List Devices” , select your Quantum, and pair it if prompted. ⚠️ Important :  If your device was previously paired via system Bluetooth, unpair it first to avoid conflicts.
• Open the Details page  – Once connected, tap “Details…” .
• Start the update  – Tap the yellow “Firmware Update” button, then tap “Update” .
• Wait and don’t switch apps  – The update will run slowly, that’s expected. After reaching 100%, the screen might freeze for ~30 seconds , then show “boot” for another ~30 seconds. The app will reconnect and finalize the process.

✅ Done! You’re ready to explore the new features.

Update with the MagiScript Editor

If you prefer using a desktop:

• Use a compatible browser  – Open MagiScript Editor in Chrome or Edge on a Bluetooth-enabled laptop or desktop.
• Turn on your Quantum  – Make sure it’s powered on and not paired with your phone.
• Connect via browser  – Tap “Connect” in the editor, and approve the pairing prompt.
• Follow the update prompt  – A popup will appear with the update option. Click “Update” .
• Wait patiently  – Just like in the app, the process is slow. Expect the same ~30s freeze , then ~30s showing “boot” after reaching 100%.
• Reconnect in the editor  – After the update, reconnect manually in the MagiScript Editor to continue working.

✅ Done! Your firmware is up to date.

Tips & Troubleshooting

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Unpair Before Updating

If your Quantum was previously paired as a Bluetooth keyboard (from using Q-Type or other keyboard mini-apps), you must unpair it from your phone’s Bluetooth settings before updating firmware. Otherwise the update may fail.

How to unpair:

• iOS: Settings → Bluetooth → Find Quantum → Tap (i) → Forget This Device
• Android: Settings → Bluetooth → Find Quantum → Tap settings icon → Unpair/Forget

After updating, you can pair it again when needed.

⚠️ Critical Bug Fixed in v1.0.7+

If you’re on firmware older than v1.0.7, update as soon as possible. Earlier versions had a critical bug that could cause the device to get stuck showing “boot” and become unresponsive. This has been fixed in v1.0.7 and later.

If your device is already stuck on “boot”:

1. Contact support at Electricks Support
2. The device can be recovered, but requires special procedures

⚠️ If the update fails or freezes:

• Restart the app and your phone (or browser and computer).
• Unpair / forget Quantum from Bluetooth settings.
• Try the update again.

💡 Tip: Disable Bluetooth on your phone while updating via the MagiScript Editor to avoid interference.

🪫 Note: Charge your Quantum before updating. A low battery can cause update failures.

Still stuck?

Don’t worry. Most update issues are temporary and easy to fix.
