Changing Com Ports In Firmware Update

Please forgive me for not seeing this. I am sure it was there. I see where to check the box to recognize a Glyph. But, how do you train it? Also, I would like to recognize pictures...

Mps Gas Cap Switch
Hey All, Trying to work this MPS Gas Cap into my R2 project. I want to use it as a fail safe switch in case R2 makes a break for it. I want to use it in reverse of what it is advertised for. Basically I want R2's power to be on when the "plug" is in and shut off if the "plug" is pulled. I've tossed it together on my bread board...
