MCT fw update status

[el-dr]

Would it be possible to add a section to the MCT manual that would always show the current status of its ability to handle fw updates (or at least a sticky post in the SW forum)? I discovered a few weeks ago that the fw upgrade was broken after wasting some time on it, then I read it somewhere (I can't remember where, though) that the fw upgrade works for the "old" bootloaders, which I don't know how to identify and I guess I'm not the only one. Gathering all the relevant info to one place would be great.

Iwill add that to the manual or to the software itself

Now in the software if you have selected a v3 or v4 bootloader, you cannot access uploading firmware because it gives you a warning becaus now it does not work for those bootloaders. dmitri, Ken and me are trying to solve it

Dmitri,

how can I tell the version of a bootloader? I had one where the MIDI LED was blinking when booting up for a firmware update and there's another one where it wasn't. Right now all my Atmegas have the same bootloader, which was downloaded from the Download page here, but the MegaDrum_bootloader.zip file doesn't say much about the version and neither does the filename "bootloader644.hex".

Those on the Download page (with the blinking MIDI LED) are v4.

I think I know what you mean. When you get a popup with a new firmware update, you can update it. Damn it, I forgot that

Thanks for the addition, now it clearly shows the status. I hope the message at the bottom will change soon...
