The G3 controller has gone through several firmware iterations as features & functionality were updated as well as 2 hardware releases. The list below summarizes each release, the release date and the supported G3 hardware. The current hardware platform is the K12 which replaced the discontinued K02. The K02 is still supported, but no longer in production in favor of the K12.
Determining the installed firmware version requires a wired or wireless CLI connection. Every G3 is capable of displaying its firmware revision using the CLI command "ver". The firmware version is also displayed on first boot on the CLI. The version command does not require a password.
With the release of firmware v0.7.2, the external LED display on the G3 have been changed allowing the firmware version to be confirmed without CLI access.
The Dual Motor release v0.7.5, expanded the LED's role by helping to identify Primary and Secondary controllers and inform the indicate when a communication error has occurred.

G3 Hardware can be determined indirectly by the installed firmware as there was only one K02 hardware release. The hardware can also be determined by the Serial Number sticker located on the back of the unit. If the Serial Number sticker does not contain the text "K12" then it is a "K02". The hardware revision is also displayed on power up in CLI or by issuing a CLI "ver" command.
| Hardware | SN Sticker | CLI Version Display |
|---|---|---|
| K12 (current production) Hardware Rev: D2 |  |  |
| K12 Hardware Rev: D2 |  |  |
| K02 (discontinued) |  |  |
| K02 controller cannot be upgraded to a K12. | ||
