Newbie just trying to make it work

Postby betoweb » Sun Feb 05, 2012 2:17 pm

Greetings,

I am still trying to get my MegaDrum to work correctly. For some reason it worked fine on a friend's laptop with Garage Band, so I think it is wired correctly. And now on my Mac tower, it seems to be messed up.

When I power it up, the top row LCD is all white (blocked out) and the bottom row is blank. The triggers all trigger only D#.

I tried to update the firmware, but when I power on with the left button pushed in, the same LCD display mentioned above happens. The midi light flashes, but the up/down buttons have no effect.

Any idea how I can reset Megadrum and/or software?

I have Mac OSX 10.6.8

Thanks!

The LCD is connected incorrectly
The LCD is broken
The LCD cable is damaged
Atmega can also be damaged if the LCD has been connected incorrectly.

Also in "MegaDrum FAQ. Read it before posting in this forum!" see the question 7.
