Firmware Updates
The current firmware version is 1.0. When a new firmware version is released, follow the instructions below to update
your pedal’s firmware.
Please note that updating the firmware may alter the pedal’s sound settings. If you’re actively using the pedal in a
project right now, it may be advisable to only update the firmware once the project is over.
NB! An incomplete firmware update can make the pedal unusable. If something goes wrong during the update, the
pedal will most likely need to be serviced by Shift Line’s qualified specialists. Please use the feedback form if you
experience any issues with the firmware update.
PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN FULL BEFORE STARTING THE UPDATE!
Follow these steps one by one:
1.
Disconnect all cables from the Astronaut V, then connect them in the following order:
1.1.
First, connect the pedal to your computer via a USB cable.
1.2.
Next, connect the power supply to the pedal.
2.
Both LEDs should now be glowing blue: this means the pedal is ready for the firmware update. If that’s the
case, you can proceed to the next step.
3.
Open the ASTRONAUT drive and delete the AFXSETUP folder (remove it from the bin, too).
NB! If you need to save a previously edited config file, save it to a different destination on your
computer before deleting the AFXSETUP folder!
4.
Copy the
a5update.bin
file
to the root folder of the ASTRONAUT drive.
NB! Do not rename the update file.
5.
After the files have been copied, safely eject the ASTRONAUT drive from your computer.
6.
Disconnect the cables in the following order:
6.1.
First, disconnect the power supply from the pedal.
6.2.
Next, disconnect the USB cable.
7.
Reconnect the power supply to the pedal.
8.
The pedal will start the firmware update as soon as the power supply is plugged in.
Do not disconnect the power supply from the pedal until the update is finished!
The firmware update takes two minutes to complete. The ASTRONAUT V indicates various stages of the update
process by LED colors. When the update is over, the pedal goes to a bypassed state.
Once you’ve completed the steps described above, you can continue using the pedal. You can also use the VER
to make sure the update was successful. After you’ve used the command, an A5_VER.TXT file will
appear in the root folder of the pedal’s flash memory.
The latest firmware version to date is 1.0. The A5_VER.TXT file contains the following:
