Installation
- Tiva Flash utilities and drivers can be found in the repository under Tiva_Flash_Utilities
- To update the Nextion firmware over USB you need at least firmware v2.0-beta-1 and the Nextion Editor. On the Syntherrupter, go to Settings->USB FW Update. Connect the Syntherrupter to your PC. More infos about updating the Nextion firmware with the Nextion Editor can be found in their documentation, chapter 2.1 and chapter 4
- If you have Nextion Editor v1.61.1 or higher you need to update your Tiva firmware to v3.1.0-beta.5 or higher before you can update the Nextion firmware.
Notes
- Since the amount of coils that can be controlled by the Syntherrupter has to be set at compile time I attached Tiva binaries for 1-6 coils.
- If you flash the Tiva for the first time or increase the coil number always check ALL settings. You should check it after each update, too. Just in case...
- Nextion firmwares >=3.0.1 or higher are not compatible with any previous Tiva version.
- Tiva and Nextion firmwares >=3.1.0-beta.2 are not compatible with any previous versions.
- Tiva and Nextion firmwares >=3.1.0-beta.3 are not compatible with any previous versions.
- Nextion firmwares >=3.1.0-beta.4 are not compatible with any previous Tiva version.
Changes
- For the other important changes since v3.0.2, see
- Since you might not want to modify each MIDI file you're trying out to get the note mapping features, it is now possible to modify NRPs for each channel directly from the touch screen. The same page allows you to send any MIDI command you want, too.
- The slider's "non-linear" function wasn't that good; too slow on the lower end, too fast on the higher end, and not consistent on different ranges (e.g. 10% of one parameter gave a different slider position than 10% of another parameter). The slider graphics where slightly modified, too. (You probably won't spot the difference without direct comparison).
- The ontime and duty settings on the MIDI Live page were labeled "Max. Ontime" and "Max. Duty" - which is pretty confusing. They're now called "Note Ontime" and "Note Duty".
