Count to 5 MacOS Update Instructions

[DRodriguez]

Might as well start a thread on this so that it's easier to find.

Script has been updated, you no longer have to download anything but the script. Same link as the last one. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2rbxpy767uqnm ... te.sh?dl=0

That should be easier for me to update because all it requires is me updating the file on my server.

Full instructions:
1) Download the script either at https://www.dropbox.com/s/2rbxpy767uqnm ... te.sh?dl=0 or at http://mtlasm.drodriguez.us/updates/Ct5_Update.sh
2) Open terminal and paste the following text (including a space at the end)

Code:

sh

3) Drag the file from wherever you downloaded it to your terminal window
4) Hit enter and follow the instructions

Here's a question I had...

In the past I updated the firmware. So for subsequent updates, when the script
asks what version of CT5 I am plugging in via USB, do I tell the script the version of
the physical pedal itself (K), or do I type in the version of the latest firmware (L)
that I last uploaded onto the pedal via this firmware update script?

you tell it the version of the pcb.

there shouldn't be and firmwares with 'l' as the suffix. firmwares ending in 'k' work on k and l, they are the same circuit. if it ends in h it is good for h or i (again same circuit). ending in j works with j only.

for example the last firmwares were 0.96k 0.962k, 0.963k etc. but are for k or l boards

OK, cool. This makes sense.

Drod you are the best dude.

I assume that with enough time and good will I may have potentially understood how to do this myself but this is super rad. Now I don't have to go to Vidret's to get the new firmware when it drops.

does this work for rev h/i as well?

[DRodriguez]

Yes, it will work for all versions out there currently. But h/i can only be updated to v0.931h currently.

If you ever find yourself in Hong Kong, DRod, drinks are on me.

Same goes for you, Scott.

Any idea why I would have 'permission denied' upon dragging the file to my terminal window?

[multi_s]

im not sure cause i don;t have a mac so maybe drod can chime in, it may require you do be in sudo mode in the terminal? (ie be logged in as root in the terminal) but that is just a guess.

Ah, yes. Good old sudo. Thanks! Got it up and running.
