2.10 Open Source Software
We believe in the possibility for our users to open up our gear and
tweak certain things themselves. This is one of the reasons why we
made all the information regarding the original Field Kit available and
also made it available as a DIY kit!
This time, due to technical complexity of the device, we decided it’s
better not to have the Field Kit FX available as a DIY unit, but instead
we want to give everyone access to the source code of the DSP en-
gine and the user interface itself.
The code is commented, so even if you are not an experienced
programmer you can tweak certain settings and see the results! We
encourage programmers to play around with the code and share it
with other users.
This is how you upload the updated code to this device: There is a
USB port hidden behind the front panel that will allow reflashing the
micro controller in the Field Kit FX. Just unscrew the front panel as
described above, connect to a PC via USB and transfer new code
to the device and you’re good to go! For more information, visit our
website koma-elektronik.com.
2. User Manual
When you are sure that everything is set correctly, connect the two
boards again by sticking the pins of the upper board into the female
pin headers on the lower board. Be careful that all pins are aligned
and that no pin is visible from the outside or stuck next to the connec-
tor. When the two boards are sandwiched again, you can go ahead
and either:
- Apply the Eurorack frontpanel and connect it to your modular sys-
tem and power it on. Or you
- Screw the board sandwich back into the enclosure and re-mount the
front panel with the hex nuts.
