Appendix: SD card management:
When you boot a new firmware version, if you want to keep the changes
to the sequences in flash, you must first save the image of the pattern
and parameters (active sequences) on an SDcard as described in the
subsequent paragraph '
Store the Sequences into the SDcard
'.
Now
let's talk a few about the 'sequence loading'.
Load the Sequences from SDcard
You can load the sequences previously stored in the SDcard in two ways:
1. the long press of the load button forces the DC1 drum to check the
presence of the SDcard and if it finds the 'properly formed' file
'SEQUENCE' on the SD, it loads the sequences contained in this file in its
flash with all the parameters of the active sequences: when loaded the
sequences correctly the module confirms with an 'OK'.
-----
2. at startup, if there is an SDcard inserted into the slot SD, the DC1
drum tries to search the file 'SEQUENCE'; if it is founded and if it is
'correctly formed' the DC1 loads the sequences contained in the file on
its flash with all parameters (^)
-----
Recall from the preceding section 'Panel Description':
store
button: As above, the user is prompted with a graphical display of
the possible locations where to save the present pattern. When selected
with the right encoder, by pressing it the sequence is saved and the
module confirms with an "OK".
Save patterns and parameters in flash
All changes are initially in RAM (volatile), and you can try them without
saving them, but if you want to save patterns and parameters in flash
you can choose between these two possibilities:
1. a short press of the 'store' button saves the single pattern (the one in
sight/running) with its parameters in the location that you choose
specifically with the encoders,
2. the long press of the 'store' (over 3 seconds) saves everything in flash
(all parameters and the 64 patterns, in the order they are loaded and
modified), and is reported directly with an 'OK' on the LED matrix without
need to save each pattern individually.
