New Pleo owners FAQ Version 1.0
waffocopter:
Question! When you put replace the OS, does that essentially start Pleo over? Do they have to go through the process of hatching all over again?
InmemoryofRomeo:
Yes it does, but an update to the OS like the one to correct the sleep position on the reborns hopefully won't :o
waffocopter:
It'd better not! I'm sure I'll be immediately attached to my currently non-existant Pleo once it develops a personality. I wish the sleep position would have no problems since it'd look so much more normal to see something sleep like that as opposed to standing straight up. Ah well, it's a sacrifice we have to make, I guess.
fimoman:
Thank you VERY much for this. I'm anxiously awaiting my UGOBE Pleo from Ebay (courtesy of some company in Hong Kong ho still haven'tshipped him for some reason...), and I want to make sure that I get everything right when I start him up.
A few questions about OSs:
1. Most of the time, what OS do they come with?
2. When updating, can I go straight from 1.0 to 2.0, or do I have to go through 1.1 too? And where can I get these updates anyway? I'm guessing you plug Pleo intothe machine via the USB cable, but where does it come from?
PleoPet:
Answers for the older V1 (UGOBE era) Pleos, including the Innvo updates to the old model [BUT NOT THE PleoRB]
> [older] Question! When you put replace the OS, does that essentially start Pleo over? Do they have to go through the process of hatching all over again?
Yes it will restart from newborn. For the older Pleos the birth stage is relatively short (around 1 battery cycle for "OS 1.1", or 3 or 4 battery cycles for "PM 2")
> 1. Most of the time, what OS do they come with?
If buying second hand on eBay, they may come with any version (1.0, 1.1 or PM2), depending on the last version the old owner tried.
If buying a new unit (one of the Innov updates, not the RB), I assume it will come with PM2 installed.
> 2. When updating, can I go straight from 1.0 to 2.0, or do I have to go through 1.1 too?
If your older Pleo comes with 1.0 software, you must update using 1.1 first. Then update to PM2.
> And where can I get these updates anyway?
You can download the 1.1 and PM2 updates here: http://pleoworld.com/downloads/firmware.aspx
REMINDER: install the OS 1.1 first, then install the PM2 update second (if you want the latest version)
WARNING: for Pleo V1 hardware only. Do not use these with the PleoRB!!!
> I'm guessing you plug Pleo intothe machine via the USB cable, but where does it come from?
The USB update method is obsolete and no longer supported.
Read the installation instructions. You will need a full sized SD card (2GB or smaller).
Good luck.
