Firmware upgrade disaster!!!

[ignotus]

Glad you finally got in running! My experience with winpic was the same - it always gave an error message - but after a few tries it just worked, regardless of the error message. I also had the issue where MD detection kept blinking on and off, and the pulldown resistor did the trick for me too.

looks like I have a buggy os or version of winpic because the third time I tried winpic went alot slower and it still said that it error out. I just went ahead and installed the pulldown resistor on a whim and plug it into my laptop which recognized my megadrum as megadrum usb, ran midiox did the firmware update and it didn't miss a beat so I'm finally working correctly. Thanks so much for all the advise you have given me Dmitri . DAMN COMPUTERS ANYWAYS
I assume that this pic is successfully configured right? It seems to be working fine and this was a brand new pic so it definitly had no firmware on it. I can't even get a read from the pic either which is strange.

Congratulations! If you could do a firmware update with it, it is most likely has been correctly programmed.

Thanks guys for all the help again, without it I might have given up .Megadrum handles firmware updates with eaze now, I just have a little issue with my kick input but I'll start a new post about that if I can't sort it out with the module settings. Looks like there's a bit of a learning curve as far as setting up all the wonderful features megadrum has to offer, let the reading begin .

I don't now if "god" or "mom" need to be on the list and definitly not my manager since I had to fire his ass for not fixing my megadrum but dmitri for sure, he sure takes alot of time to help us and for that I think he deserves this award .
