Software Update for meloDICEr module (package for Mac computers)


You will need the following things for the software update:
- meloDICEr module ;-)
- power supply for the meloDICEr module (module rack for example)
- USB cable (USB A plug to USB micro-B plug)
- Mac running OS 10.7 (Lion) or newer
- software update package for meloDICEr module (Mac edition)


Instructions for updating the meloDICEr module
- make sure no other devices in Atmel bootloader mode are connected to
  your Mac; connect only one meloDICEr module at a time to your Mac

- connect the USB micro-B receptacle of the meloDICEr to a Mac using a USB cable
  (USB A plug to USB micro-B plug)
  The USB micro-B receptacle of the meloDICEr is not accessible from the front.
  It is located directly on the printed circuit board (at the top edge).
  If the meloDICEr module is installed in a rack, you will have to uninstall it
  for the update procedure und reinstall it after the update.
- connect the bus connector of the meloDICEr to a suitable power supply;
  do not turn on the power yet
- press and hold down button "TAP" on the meloDICEr module
- power up the meloDICEr module -> meloDICEr is in bootloader mode now
- release button "TAP" of the meloDICEr module

- start "update_meloDICEr.command"
  Elevated privileges are not technically required to run the update, but
  depending on your Gatekeeper settings macOS might tell you that
  "update_meloDICEr.command" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified
  developer. In this case, right-click (or Control-click) on
  "update_meloDICEr.command" and select Open.
- the output in the console window should look similar to "screenhot_mac.png"
- power down the meloDICEr module and disconnect the USB cable
- press and hold down the encoder and the lock button
- power up the meloDICEr module -> meloDICEr will reset all settings and sequences
- release all buttons
- your meloDICEr module is up to date now

- if the update should fail, power down the module and repeat from beginning
- if the update does still not work, please contact HDB electronic
