Hey guys -
I got the 4ms Meta module and the wireless expander at the same time. I am able to play basic patches like untwisted braid. I can trigger it with kbd signal and I can get audio out from it. So that is good. However, I have other problems…
Meta is PCB version p11, firmware version is v1.0.1
I was successfully able to follow the instructions for the wireless module setup, with cables connected correctly–i.e. red line on cables aligned with white lines on pcb, attached to wireless expander. I figured I’d start there,
and once I had the wireless operational, I’d do everything else… I got the wireless card to show a green light.
However, the 4ms system shows no wireless module connected.
I tried resetting the hardware. This did not help, and I fear it may have partially bricked the meta, because the other options didn’t work either.
I realized that I had not updated the firmware on the Meta. Then I downloaded the latest firmware and tried to get the meta to recognize the file system on two different USB drives, and the included microSDHC. Neither USB drive nor the microSDHC were recognized by meta. I cannot get either option to recognize anything, and no option on the meta that looks at these drives is able to see them at all.
I then fell back to the instructions regarding how to update firmware directly from a computer with USB and chrome.
In the chrome firmware update interface, I see options for 0x1209 - dapboot DFU bootloader, 0xOD28 - mbed DAPLink, and 0x1EAF - Leaflabs Maple/stm32duino bootloader.
I do not see “STM Device in DFU Mode” as a connect option in chrome.
Whenever I try to connect one of the three options that are available, I get “no compatible device found.” Thus connect fails with NotFoundError:Failed to execute ‘requestDevice’ on ‘USB’: No device selected. I can’t upgrade the firmware.
In device manager on my computer, “STM Device in DFU Mode” comes up with an asterisk next to it in devices–and the system can’t find appropriate drivers. This seems to lock me out of all options to update firmware, usb, card, and wireless are not working. Thus, I can’t transfer VCVRack patches either.
What should I do as my next steps for trying to get the Meta to update its firmware, get the USB or memory card working, and recognize the wireless card? Do I need to ship it back to you for repair?
Thanks,
Mark.
