Two firmware versions are available: Online firmware and Factory firmware.

The difference between the two versions is described as follows:

Online firmware

Without ex-factory programs. In online programming mode or when you use the app to remotely control mBot Mega, this version is recommended. The programs you compile won't be affected by the preset programs.

Factory firmware

Restore the ex-factory programs (gesture recognition, obstacle avoidance, and line following). When you use this firmware version, the sensors must be connected to the specified ports according to the instructions of the manual, otherwise the sensors can't work properly when you execute the programs.
