Planet Updater

This simple CLI tool lets you update your Elos lamps directly from the CLI.

Features

• Fast. At least 4x faster that the stock one. In fact, the update requires ~ 4' 30" instead of 18'.
• Lightweight. Around 6 MB with firmwares bundled in.
• Multi-platform. It's written in Go, so it's supported on every platform supported by Go itself.
• Ready to use. You can find the binary releases in the Releases section.

Bundled firmwares

Lamp type	Firmware	Notes
PRO	v14 (aka 114)	Latest as of 2015-11-18
Compact	v15 (aka 115)	Latest as of 2015-11-18

Usage

The command usage and switches are visible using the flag --help.

Basically, you just need to launch the executable, specifying the type of the lamp (pro or compact) and the WiFish address to which the lamp is connected to, ie.

$ # Update PlanetPRO at 192.168.1.50:5000
$ planet-updater --type pro 192.168.1.50 5000

$ # Update PlanetCompact at 192.168.1.100:5000
$ planet-updater --type compact 192.168.1.100 5000

If you find the update procedure failing more than once, feel free to run the tool with the --debug switch and open an issue on GitHub.

How to hack it

...should I tell you? It's a 2 source files tool. Improvements and ideas are more than welcome.
