	[[Image:HUB5000-fw2.~~jpg~~\|link=]]		[[Image:HUB5000-fw2-2.png\|link=]]

	~~Follow the steps in the window above:~~		* Open the web interface by clicking the button or entering the HUB5000's IP address in your web browser.
	~~# Download the firmware (you can get it '''[{{SERVER}}/downloads/phidgetsbc/HUB5000/phidgethub5000.bin here]''' if the button does not work)~~		* Go to the '''System''' tab and scroll down to the '''Upgrade Firmware''' section.
	# Open the web interface by clicking the button or entering the HUB5000's IP address in your web browser.
	# Go to the '''System''' tab and scroll down to the '''Upgrade Firmware''' section~~. Select the file you just downloaded and click '''Upgrade and Restart'''. You'll be instructed to wait a few minutes before logging back into the web interface~~.

	~~When you log in~~, you can confirm that the new version has successfully installed by checking ~~to see if~~ the firmware version ~~listed in the "Status" section matches~~ the ~~first three numbers in the firmware file name that you downloaded~~. You can also check the version in the '''Network Phidgets''' tab on the Phidget Control Panel.}}		[[Image:HUB5000-fw3-2.png\|link=]]
			[[Image:HUB5000-fw4-2.png\|link=]]

			* Click on the '''Download and Upgrade''' button. You'll be prompted to wait for the HUB5000 to download the upgrade and reboot.

			Once it's finished, you can confirm that the new version has successfully installed by checking the firmware version on the status page. You can also check the version in the '''Network Phidgets''' tab on the Phidget Control Panel.

			If you have an older version of the firmware, you may have to download the firmware file manually and select it in the system tab. You can find the newest firmware [https://www.phidgets.com/downloads/phidgetsbc/HUB5000/phidgethub5000.bin here].

	The E-Stop input is shorted with a jumper wire by default. If you would like to implement an E-Stop system, we recommend connecting a normally-closed (NC) switch to the E-Stop input.

	====Multiple Motor Controllers====		====Multiple Motor Controllers====

	If your project uses multiple motor controllers with E-Stops, ~~we recommend wiring them separately because wiring them together can cause ground loops~~ that ~~introduce instability. The best solution is to buy a multi-throw~~ E-~~Stop switch that provides a separate circuit for each controller.~~		If your project uses multiple motor controllers with E-Stops, our controllers have been designed so that all E-stops can be wired in parallel to a single button.

	~~You~~ can ~~search for on an electronics retailer like Digikey for~~ a ~~DPST-NC switch for two controllers, or 3PST/4PST for three or four~~.

	====Other Considerations====		====Other Considerations====
	The E-Stop circuit does not physically interact with the supply voltage or the motor connection. You should not wire your motor, or your supply voltage to this circuit.
