S67A.. = Smarty model S-67
S67ME.. = Smarty model S-67ME
SJ6.. = Smarty JR
These instructions were written with the S-04 and S-06 models in mind. However, the procedure for obtaining software for the other models is similar.
My hope is these instructions will be helpful in getting the files necessary to update your Smarty with the software available on the MADS website, using your computer.
Before you get started, it may be helpful if you create a folder on your computer and name it "Smarty".
Create a subfolder in the Smarty folder named Docs.
You may create additional subfolders in the Smarty folder for each of the software files you download later, when you actually download them.
The date on the folder you create for the Smarty files themselves should coincide with the file you chose to download.
I DO NOT recommend changing the names of any of the files you download.
Visit http://www.madselectronics.com/index.html
At the top menu bar, Click on the "Downloads" tab.
Select the product you own and want to download for by checking the serial number on the white label attached to your Smarty, then clicking on the picture of your model.
If you already have the current version of Adobe Reader the next step can be skipped.
Toward the bottom of the page, is a link to get Adobe Reader, if you don't have it.
Once you have Adobe Reader, I strongly recommend saving a copy of all the files in the "Documentation" area, of the MADS Download page for your model.
Starting with the top file in the “Documentation” area, Click on the file, a new window will pop up with the document displayed.
In the upper left corner click on "file" scroll down to "Save As" and click. It will open a Dialog box. Leave the file name as is, but at the top of the dialog box, in the "save in:” area, you can navigate to your "Docs" subfolder you created in your Smarty folder earlier. Repeat these steps for each of the documents present in the "Documents" area of the Smarty download page.
Next, you may need to make a selection based on your truck and your particular model of Smarty, to either download the REVO software or REVO-TNT software, or both. I recommend getting both if available for your model of Smarty.
Write Down the date associated with the file you are about to download. It will be used to create a subfolder to save your file to.
If you have the S03, you will need to decide which of the 5 currently available programs you want, or just download all of them now, and decide later. Also, if you are downloading for the SO3, I would write down the entire file name you are about to download, and use that for your folder name later in these instructions.
Click on the File name of the software. You should now be looking at a “Disclaimer of Liability” page.
If you are downloading for S03, or SJ6, you will not have a “Disclaimer of Liability” page. In your case, a file download box will just pop up.
NOTE: If you are downloading the TNT file, there is a link for documentation for the TNT software on the Disclaimer of Liability page. Click on it, and save it in the Docs folder as before.
Read the Disclaimer, and if you agree, click the “I agree with the terms” link.
A File Download box should pop up. Click on Save.
A "Save As" window will open. This gives you the opportunity to save it to a specific folder on your computer, or create a new folder to save it in. Again, leave the file name alone. In the “Save In:” area, navigate to the Smarty Folder.
Select “Create New Folder” name the folder with Either REVO_xx-xx-xx or REVO_TNT_xx-xx-xx Depending on which file you are downloading currently, and Where xx-xx-xx is the date of the file. At the time of this article, the current software for S06 is Nov 14, 2008. So, 11-14-08 would be the date for the folder.
For the S03 downloads, this is where you use the name of the file for the subfolder.
The next step is to download the files in the "Tools" section of the Smarty webpage.
There are 2 files you will need. One is a USB file, the other is a USB Driver.
First, let's get the USB file.
The top 2 files in the “Tools” section are the actual Smarty downloader. Make a choice on which one you need based on your operating system. This is the program that is used to interface your computer to the Smarty and load the smarty with the software you select. These files have the name SmartyUSB.exe and SmartyUSBL.exe
Once you determine which Smarty USB downloader file is correct for your operating system, click on it. This will open a "Save As" window. Save it in the Smarty Folder.
The 3rd and 4th files are Zipped files that contain the USB drivers. Make a selection based on your operating system. These files (Once Unzipped) are used to interface your operating system (Windows XP, for example) to the Smarty Downloader. These files have the name CDM 2.0.16.zip or D30104.zip
Once you determine which USB driver file is correct for your operating system.
Click on it. This will open a "Save As" window. Save it to the Smarty Folder also.
The last thing you need to download is a copy of the 7Zip software. Clicking on the 7Zip Icon at the bottom of the Smarty Software Download page, will link you to the 7Zip webpage. Download the 7Zip program from that page by clicking on the "Download" link for the .exe file.
Once this file is on your computer, you will need to double click it to launch the 7zip installation program. This will install 7Zip to your computer.
Before you can use your USB driver file, (Either CDM 2.04.16.zip, or D30104.zip depending on your Operating System), you will need to unzip them. I used WinZip for this.
You also need to unzip the downloaded software upgrade file. This is the REVO, REVO-TNT, etc. file. It will have the file extension .7z
Use the 7Zip program for this.
An USB printer cable is used to connect the Smarty to your computer. You may already have a cable that will work if you have a printer attached to your computer.
You should now have everything you need to set your computer up for use with your Smarty, and download a new software file to it.
The next steps will be to install the USB driver to your computer. Follow the instructions you saved to your "Docs" subfolder called "SmartyUSBdriverinstallationguide.pdf"
Once the initial download and setup procedure is completed, future updates to your Smarty from your computer becomes EXTREMELY simplified.
If you run into trouble doing the initial download and setup procedure, Ask for help here!
There is a small army of Smarty users that are willing to help!
