2. Press either the button behind the small hole (use a paper clip or similar small tools) or the button on the TeensyLC board
3. Open the teensy program from the FLipMouse folder
4. Click on File->Open HEX File
5. Select the FLipWare.hex file (if more than one is available, please select your current locale, e.g. FLipWare_US.hex for an US English keyboard layout, FLipWare_DE.hey for a German keyboard layout)
6. Click Operation->Program
7. Click Operation->Reboot

At this point, your FLipMouse is updated to the current software version. Now it's time to start the configuration GUI:

1. Open the FLipMouseGUI program from the FLipMouse folder
2. Select the corresponding port (in most cases, it is the highest number) and click "Connect"
3. If your FLipMouse works and you selected the correct port, a notification will pop up to ask you if you want to load the existing settings. If not, please consult the troubleshooting section.
4. Configure the FLipMouse to the personal needs of the user
