What is the Salsa 2 Dashboard? 

The Salsa 2 Dashboard is the main hub for managing firmware updates and monitoring the Salsa 2 hardware connection. This includes checking the connection status between the booth and the Fiesta app, as well as installing any available firmware updates.

Firmware updates may include performance improvements, bug fixes, or new features, and help keep the booth running smoothly. If a hardware connection issue is detected, the dashboard provides visibility so it can be resolved quickly.

What To Know
Best Practices For Updating Firmware

Here are some best practices for updating the Salsa 2 firmware:

  • Check for iPadOS and Fiesta updates first
    Make sure the iPad is running the latest version of iPadOS and the Fiesta app is up to date before updating the firmware. This helps avoid compatibility issues and ensures the latest features and fixes are in place.
  • Ensure 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 to prevent corruption of 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 Update:
    After updating, test the booth’s major features (e.g., camera, printer, LED ring) to ensure everything works as expected.
