How to upgrade Firmware
If your firmware is older than the latest listed above, you can update it through the Micro USB port on each device. Starting with an empty FAT32 formatted USB Drive, copy the 'CPI' folder to the root of the USB from the .zip file found here: CPI.zip.
This file will contain the latest firmware for BOTH devices under the CPI folder, so you can use it on both devices without changing any files or settings.

Plug Micro USB into the Gryphon near the top of the coin-op facing you.
Once it recognizes the USB, it will prompt you to update. Hit 'F' to SAVE/Update.
Once complete, it will cycle through and show Firmware Update Complete and then the new firmware version.
