Updating LUCCA Atom 75 Firmware Via USB

Know When and How to Safely Update Your Grinder's Firmware Using a USB Cable and the LUCCA Firmware Utility App

The LUCCA Atom 75 is designed to automatically detect when new firmware updates are available and download them wirelessly. In the vast majority of cases, this WiFi Method is the proper way to update your firmware. You can check your grinder's current firmware version and initiate a WiFi firmware update by navigating to Settings (Gear-shaped Icon) > About > Firmware on your grinder's touchscreen.

There may be certain situations where updating the firmware via WiFi is not possible. In such cases, you can safely update the firmware by using the USB port located inside the grinder, following the USB Method described below.

4. Carefully disassemble your LUCCA Atom 75 Coffee Grinder to access the USB port:
   1. Turn off the grinder and unplug the power cord from the wall socket.
   2. Close the hopper gate.
   3. Remove the hopper and any coffee remaining above the burrs.
   4. Using the 2.5mm Allen/hex wrench, remove the three screws that secure the top panel to the body. Remove the top panel.
   5. Using the 3.0mm Allen/hex wrench, remove the two screws that secure the display panel assembly to the body.
   6. Remove the display panel assembly by sliding it straight up, then gently tilting it toward you.
   7. The Micro USB port can be found on the printed circuit board (PCB) behind the touch display. The other cables attached to the PCB can remain in place for this procedure.
