Reply to MIDI Clock LED without any soldering - v20110511

Hey Everyone. I finally merged the new midifighter classic firmware changes from v20110511 into my MIDI Clock LED mod! So now you get some of the bug fixes, super combos (while freeing up some modifiers), and some new analog expansion stuff.

For those who haven't read the original post, this software mod gives you the benefits of the MIDI Clock Easter Egg LED on the MIDI FIghter Classic without having to do any soldering. Instead of using the soldered-in LED, I'm using the selected bank LED in fourbanks_internal mode and the top-left LED in fourbanks_off mode.

WARNING: Neither DJ Tech Tools nor myself guarantee any support whatsoever for this code or firmware. Use at your own risk! I'm happy to help along the way, but I cannot take any responsibility for any problems this code or firmware may cause to your midifghter, yourself, your dog, etc.

This code is still in development, so there may be bugs. I encourage you to let me know about any problems, or better yet, fix them and contribute your changes back into the project!

Now that we have the scary stuff out of the way, there are two ways to get my modified midi firmware image: the easy way (download the binary), and the fun way (download the source code and build the binary). Let's start with the fun way!

The fun way - Building the binary from source
Follow the instructions to set up your build environment for you OS; however, instead of downloading the source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/midifighter/, download the source from https://github.com/kevinreedy/midifi...midi-clock-led, which contains the changes. Here are the build environment setup instructions:

• Mac OS X
• Windows

The above build environment instructions also tell you how to flash your midifighter with your newly built firmware!


The easy way - Downloading the binary

For those of you who just want the binary without all of the fun of compiling from source, you can download it at http://djoverzero.com/midifighter/.

The Mac OS X MF Updater application allows you to select a specific firmware image (instead of downloading the latest one) by going to 'File' and then 'Load HEX...'

I image the Windows version of the MF Updater also has this functionality, but I don't have a Windows box to test on.
