	Since firmware version v2.xx it is possible to upgrade an individual NT module with the module being installed in the gimbal. No disconnecting, no other hassles. Furthermore, no additional hardware such as a USB-TTL adapter is needed; one simply connects the STorM32 board to the GUI. Very convenient. This "in-situ" upgrading procedure is called '''''{{GUIPARAM\|Upgrade via STorM32 USB port}}'''''.
