Helping loading new FW in OSX

[vro3]

oh!
This is me 100% confusing AT and ARM.

so, yeah. I just messed up.


Also, The LCD doesn't have a readout when I turn it on.

Then you have to select frequency blindly.

Alright, so, once I get to the 2nd MIDI selection, input:

I press the top button, in between the two knobs once, hopefully going from 16hz to 20hz, which it seems my ATmega644 is.
After that, I push the bottom button once, following step #7.
then in less than 1 second, I push Enter in Terminal on my Mac.

*EDIT*
Is there a 'select' or 'enter' button the the MD that I need to be pushing after i push the up button? am I pushing the wrong buttons?
YES! I wasn't pressing select!
Thank you!

OKAY!!!! I figured it out! I didn't have the "yes" options on the MD figured out:

so, if it helps anyone else, Here's my over simplified directions for updating on a mac OS!!

1. Download the dated firmware and the mdfwupdater
2. Make sure the firmware that you need to load is in the same directory as the updater. On Mac, it's in the MacOS folder. MOVE THE FIRMWARE TO THE UPDATER FOLDER.
--> what I missed <---
3. Using Terminal, EDIT Dmitri's text to whatever applied to your personal computer:
so, for me, I downloaded and upzipped to my Downloads folder, so I had to type:

cd ~/Downloads/mdfwupdate/MacOS
THEN:
Change Dmitri's text to whatever updater you're updating:

his text says:
./mdfwupdate megadrum644_20111213.bin
I needed mine to say:
./mdfwupdate megadrum644_48_20160529.bin

4. Press enter.
After this, it'll bring up the MIDI options. Before this, you need to select the MIDI options on Megadrum manager.
5. Select the MIDI output. press enter.
6. Select the MIDI output DO NOT PRESS ENTER.
7. In my MD, i have two knobs, and two buttons, and the LCD doesn't work. So:
press up the up button once, then press the left knob once. (20hz)
press the down button once, then press the left knob once (load from PC)
8. IN LESS THAN ONE SECOND, press enter in Terminal, and it should work!

hope this helps. Dmitri sure helped me!
