IMPORTANT INFORMATION - CRITICAL BUG
All versions up to v3.1.1 have a serious bug in Simple Mode that causes random ontimes of extremely long duration (miliseconds!). Do not use Simple Mode! MIDI Live Mode is not affected.
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 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 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.
- Multiple Nextion/TJC displays are supported. Chose the firmware according to your model number. If the Nextion version doesn't work, try the TJC version; some displays are not marked correctly. More infos in this forum post.
- 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 firmware versions 3.0.1 or higher are not compatible with Tiva firmware lower than v3.0.1.
- Nextion and Tiva firmware versions 3.1.0 or higher are not compatible with any previous versions.
New in this version
- Added "recovery mode" to the Tiva firmware. If something goes wrong with the Nextion firmware, you weren't able to enter the firmware update mode to fix it. You had to use the SD card to update the Nextion firmware. With this release the Tiva automatically enters firmware update mode if it doesn't get a valid response from the Nextion display within three seconds after startup.
- Nextion binaries now working correctly again.
New in the last version
The last release introduced a ton of new stuff. It's worth reading!
