Updating the Firmware (Couldn't get this to work)

Mac OS

  1. Download the “ROM.bin” file in the references section below.
  2. Insert your LIVESTRONG USB flash drive, allowing a few seconds for it to be installed into your computer.
  3. By using the Finder tool, locate the flash drive in the “Devices” section.
  4. Open up the “LS” folder and look for a folder named “FW”.
  5. If “FW” does not exist, create a new folder by selecting File > New Folder, and name the folder “FW”.
  6. Copy the ROM.bin file to your “FW” directory.
  7. That’s it! Your LIVESTRONG USB flash drive now contains the new firmware needed to update your equipment.
  8. Refer to your Owners Manual for instructions on how to update your equipment using the file copied to your USB drive.


Frequently Asked Questions

What brand of lubricant should I use on the running deck?

All LIVESTRONG® Fitness treadmills use lubricant that is 100 percent silicon. Important: it must be 100 percent silicon and not have other ingredients mixed in. It comes in oil or spray, but oil usually lasts longer.



Creating Your Own Programs

Using a USB drive formatted FAT32:

  • create a folder structure as follows: Main folder called LS, with 3 sub-folders underneath named: FW, PROGRAMS and USERS:

  • we will place our exercise XML files in the PROGRAMS folder

We are interested in the XML under levels. You can define multiple difficulty levels.


Tag
<t>

total time of the run in minutes

<e>event
<1>time in seconds for the event
<2>incline
<3>

speed in mph or km/h depending on your configuration (53 = 5.3)

<6>0 = warm up/cool down, 1 = run (event repeats to fill time)


Other observations:

  • Fails to function properly if <6> has no values set to 1
  • Anything you specify with a Repeat value of 1 will repeat (in the defined order) to get to the desired time specified in <t>.
  • Comments between level and events cause the time not to get passed along


Plug your USB key in, your Livestrong treadmill and you will given the option to import the new routine.

Securing Screws

The board originally had an acetone based lacquer application done to the screws to vibration proof the screws.

Could use nail polish or a thread locker (loctite) as an alternative.

Useful Information

Testing a MOSFET

A simple test to determine if the MOSFET has failed is to check for open circuit between Drain and Source.

  • Disconnect the motor connections from the control board.
  • Add paperclips to the connectors to facilitate connecting.
  • Connect the paperclips to the battery. (Red to +, black to -)
  • Motor should start to go.
