Count To Five

[DRodriguez]

I ended up working super late last night, so I'll write and test it tonight.

Sounds good! Looking forward to it

Here's the script. It is untested on a Count to 5 because I don't have mine handy, but It runs as it should. It will install all necessary software and it gives you the option to uninstall the downloaded stuff at the end. I will not be supporting it for future releases unless I modernize my Ct5. It should be fairly easy to edit if anyone else wants to. License info is in the code, basically don't sell it and you're good.

Make sure the script is in the same folder as the update you download from Montreal Assembly.
In Terminal, navigate to wherever you downloaded it. Likely with the command:

Code: Select all

cd ~/Downloads

Then run the script with:

Code: Select all

sh Ct5_Update.sh

And then just follow the commands.

Scott, feel free to do with it as you please.

Sweeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!! Thanks DRodriguez

Update: Script is tested and working on Rev K These new features sound incredible. The CT5 is quickly becoming my desert island pedal.

Here's the script.

Thanks, David! This is awesome.

[DRodriguez]

Glad to hear it worked as expected! Let me know if there was anything weird with it, I was pretty tired when I was working on it.

ok thanks again for your contribution Dave!

updating on my mac is not working for me. I checked everything, have the right version (k) but i just don't get the update on my CT5. here's what terminal says:

"You entered k

Thank you, Goodbye!"

before that there was the installing homebrew part, which worked. I'm still not sure about the question "Did you see your CT5 listed?" and the line "No DFU cabable USB device available"

Can anybody see what i've done wrong?

[DRodriguez]

It's not actually seeing your Ct5. It will be listed under

Code: Select all

Deducing device DFU version from functional descriptor length
Found Runtime: [05ac:8213] ver=0208, devnum=4, cfg=1, intf=3, path="6-6.1", alt=0, name="UNKNOWN", serial="C8BCC8ADD408"

For some reason dfu-util lists a macbook power cord as a dfu device, which I believe is what it's listing as

Code: Select all

Found Runtime: [05ac:8213] ver=0208, devnum=4, cfg=1, intf=3, path="6-6.1", alt=0, name="UNKNOWN", serial="C8BCC8ADD408"

But when you plug in you Ct5 properly, it will say something else there. Make sure you are plugging in your USB connection before you supply power to your Ct5, otherwise the Ct5 will not try and connect to your cmputer.

One test you can do is, don't uninstall the software at the end of the script, and keep trying to plug in your Ct5 until you get a different result from the command.

Code: Select all

dfu-util -l

edit: Because you didn't uninstall the software, you can skip the script now. Just make sure you're in the same directory as the firmware update. Keep doing

Code: Select all

dfu-util -l 

Until you see a change in the output. Then to install the update, make sure your in the same directory as the update and then use the command

Code: Select all

dfu-util -a 0 -D ./application_release_0_96_k_l.dfu

Thanks D! tried it again and it worked! i didn't have to skip the script because it saw that the software was still installed and went to the next step. it seems that it found my power cord and the CT5. just updated both, haha! Now i have to learn how to use the new features. The CT5 has grown into a feature monster but time'll tame it.
i like the LFO in Mode 1 so far. sounds great. i don't get what the read head trigger thing is all about yet, but i'll work that out. Nice special modes, thanks Scott! and thank you D for the mac script!

[Seance]

ok thanks again for your contribution Dave!

And thank you Scott for this update! I really appreciate that you took the time to add these features!
I'm still working my way through the updated stuff and trying to memoize secondary function protocols.

Having the white blips to indicate Q toggling is very helpful.

My friend upgraded my RevJ to the latest firmware for me - I don't have a PC & all the Mac info didn't help me much. The upshot is Mode 1 only works with the E switch in down position, Q does not work. mode2 doesn't work, only get a blue flashing LED with E switch down. same for mode3 but with solid blue LED.
Any suggestions

Can you make sure your friend used the right firmware for rev J?

it has to be this file, it is the only update for the rev j boards. It sounds liek makeybe he used the h/i update. They are not compatible. Please ask him to double check. This is the only update for rev j that has been released:
