[DONE] firmware upgrades

Post by n4Sphere »

nobody is perfect and there is always a way to improve a code. so please keep an easy way of updating the unit on your mind. it has to be done by the user, shipping back is a nightmare and adds tons of extra cost.

I'll investigate and see what I can do :)
But with the current way the code is written it's a lot of work to do it over USB - as explained here: https://www.midronome.com/faq.html?i300=1#i300

I think this is essential for me before buying the unit, if it is patchable then it's future proofed to some extent and we are not going to be wishing we had waited for the version 2 edition.

Personally not bothered if it's a lot of work to do, guessing it must be through connecting USB port to a PC/mac to access a file system then update files from a zip or something.

Ha no I meant a lot of work for me to implement it ;)

But times have changed a lot since this topic - USB communication is now a strong part of the device, and firmware updates are part of it ;)

The way to upgrade the firmware will be over USB-MIDI only, by sending the firmware as SysEx MIDI Messages. I'll give you precise instructions on how to do it :)
