The Guac Dashboard is the main hub for downloading and installing firmware updates for the Guac Photo Booth. Guac's firmware manages the booth's hardware connections, such as the printer and LED Ring, and firmware updates may include performance improvements, bug fixes, or new features. It's important to keep your Guac's firmware updated, because it helps keep the booth running smoothly.

What To Know
Best Practices For Updating Firmware

Here are some best practices for updating the Guac firmware:

  • Check for iPadOS and Fiesta updates first
    Make sure the iPad is running the latest versions of iPadOS and the Fiesta iOS App before updating the firmware. This helps avoid compatibility issues and ensures the latest features and fixes are in place.
  • Ensure a stable power supply
    Before starting the update, ensure the booth has a stable power connection to avoid interruptions during the process.
  • Avoid interruptions during the update
    Do not turn off or unplug the booth or iPad while the firmware is being updated, as this could corrupt the update.
  • Update during off-peak hours
    If possible, perform the update during off-peak hours or when the booth isn’t being used for events to minimize disruption.
  • Test booth features after the update is finished
    After updating, test the booth’s major features (e.g., camera, printer, LED Ring) to ensure everything works as expected.
