Chromalink Duo Guide
Both a Chromadeck and a Chromalink cable are necessary to connect to or update a Duo.
Before connecting to or updating Duo firmware, always ensure the Chromadeck is up to date first.
- Use a data-capable USB cable, power-only cables won’t work.
- Windows will notify upon successful connection
- Mac may work but is not officially supported.
With the Duo, Chromadeck, Chromalink, Computer, and USB-C cable ready, proceed to the next step.
Remove the Casing
- Start by carefully removing the Duo from it’s case. It should come out with little resistance.
- If it does not come out easily, ensure the bulb is not caught on the opening like in the 2nd image below.
