PreenFM1 (the blue one) / Re: flashing firmware from a mac?

« on: February 04, 2012, 08:26:28 PM »

You only need to have dfu-util installed.
Look inside the PreenFM*.cmd file what is the exact calling syntax...

I've never done it with a mac though. 

Let me know...

Hi Felix,

Congrats for you PreenFM it looks Nice 

Here are the verification you should do for your midi problem :
(I assume you don't see circle blinking on the LCD when you send midi to the PreenFM).

. In "menu->Conf->midi>Midi Channel" : Check you have 'All'.
. On the attached picture, I've colored all the connections involved in the Midi input.
. Check that all point of the same color are connected.
. When powered, the red color should be at 3.3V, the white one at 0V.
. Check twice you inserted the 6N137 in the right direction
. Be sure the diode is not inversed.

Let me know,

Xavier

Firmware 1.52.B1 has a full midi-thru instead of the old "forward other channels".
I  think it's how it should have always been.
Let me know if it works as you expected.

And thanks for the suggestion

Are you talking about this ?
http://www.amazon.fr/Bluetrade-Adaptateur-secteur-pour-cable/dp/B000ILYSJK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327871966&sr=8-1

I bought 3 pieces for 10 euros shipping inlcuded... I don't remember which one exactly.

They work very well and improved a lot the ratio signal/noise.

Thanks Paul for the good idea,
That shouldn't be complicated to add.

Will be in 1.52.

« on: January 26, 2012, 09:51:55 PM »

Great... i'm glad it works... 

To upgrade the firmware you only have to screw off the 2 screws that links the top part to the rest of the box.
That's enough to reach the maple mini usb port.
Should take you 30 seconds ;-)

It should work with OSX (i've nver tried with a Mac but i do it everyday with Linux).
You must have dfu-util installed.

Follow the upgrade procedure but instead of running the *.cmd file,  run directly the command line :
dfu-util -a1 -d 0x1EAF:0x0003 -D PreenFM_R3_v1.51.bin -R

Hi Nick,

The LCD is OK.
The Maple blinks so it is powered...
Can you hear the boot sound ?

I think you don't have any choice. You have to take off the knobs and remove the top plate, the LCD etc... and check the connections.
On my dev board, i put on and off many times the knobs... It's easier each time ;-)
Take the board firmly just bellow the knob you remove and it should be OK.

Could you check the points i colored in the attached schema ?
When trying again the LCD, no need to rebuild the case, just plug quickly the LCD for verification.
Plug the USB after plugging the LCD else the LCD will miss the first initialization command.

Let me know how it goes,

Xavier

Simple Midi clock also broke the audio engine.
It should be fixed in 1.51.B1...
