Vortex 285 firmware upgrade Hello I seen there was a newer firmware upgrade 1.0.0.15 I installed it fine but when I tried to enter cleanflight It wouldn't read my 285. Updating the firmware is an easy process. Note: most Vortexes being sold now already have this firmware version installed, since it was released July 2015. While firmware updates are somewhat “optional,” your Vortex won’t work with Zwift until you install at least firmware version 3.1.7, which is the update that allows Zwift to talk back to the Vortex to adjust tension to simulate inclines. Note: you don’t need to check for firmware updates on a regular basis–the free Tacx Utility app does this for you when you run it, so whenever you calibrate your Vortex it will also check for updates.


Keeping your Vortex’s firmware updated helps to ensure your trainer is functioning optimally. Your Vortex is a computer, and sometimes the code which runs that computer needs to be updated.
