a little help needed with just a couple of questions.

Hi there.

I do read all your replies and have been through a large amount of the forum but just a little confused as in one post it says only you can programme the chips then you say we have to but don't explain how to go about it at all.

If I was to put it all together and run the megadrum firmware would this work ?

Many thanks

Marc

Can you point to my posts which contradict each other?

Yes, of course, up to version 20100516 but you won't be able to run any version newer than that.

hi there, sorry for keeping on and dont mean to be rude, would it be possible to download the bootloader for the atmel and upload it myself, and the file used for the PIC.

and then i take it it would just be a case of installing the firmware for megadrum?

also is the atmega644 also a 40 pin AVR? and could i just swap them out?
also are you still able to supply the atmega644 if so please may i go for that one?
thank you again

If you mean the protected bootloader then no.

and the file used for the PIC.

In which case and which firmware?

cool thats brilliant thanks

just got to get my head around the atemga, would it be possible to get the atemga644 and replace the atemga324 initially used?

can you still do the atmega644 witht he protected boot loader?

thanks again

Yes.

Yes.

brilliant how can i go about getting one with the protected bootloader from you?

literally this is the last questions, sorry to have been a pain.

upload the firmware is this using the parallel , serial or usb once the chips have had the initial programming ready for the firmware?

thanks again

I've already replied to this question from you, here in the forum and in e-mail.

Atmega with the protected bootloader can be loaded with MegaDrum firmware using USB or standard MIDI. Did you read http://www.megadrum.info/content/programming-mcus ? Do you at all read the links I give you?
