Typically you would only download the Master.bin file one time. Currently version 6 is the latest version. Once it is downloaded, the default, or what ever code you have built, will need to be added back in. This will be a *.hex file. After the .hex has been loaded, your robot will behave exactly as the .hex file tells it to. As you create or edit code, compile it into a new .hex file and load it. You don't have to load the master.bin file first, you already did it.
Think of the master.bin as the operating system on your PC. The .hex files are like a program that runs by using the master.bin as an OS.
