How do I update my firmware?

Please visit this post to learn how to update your firmware:
http://www.djranking s.com/2008/08/1...-100-firmware/

If you have problems please visit this thread:
http://www.djranking s.com/community /sho...=7732#post7732


Which firmware version does your VCi-100 have?
Version 1.1
the firmware with the "ramp up problem"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2Y509VQVEQ

the jog wheel touch sensor turns off when the wheel stops turning, not when you release your finger.

Version 1.2
-VCI-100's with a green sticker on the back are firmware version 1.2
- this version solved the ramp up problem but still has several bugs including
* the fourth FX buttons send out the same midi message as the right headphone cue button.


Version 1.3
The firmware found in all VCi-100SE controllers that was designed by Ean Golden.

You can tell if you have 1.3 by following these steps.

1) connect your vci-100 to a computer but dont start traktor.

2) Click the button that is at the top right hand corner of the left jog wheel (its next to the filter knob for deck A).

3) If this button's light toggles on and off then you have 1.3 (the same button on the right deck will not toggle on and off.

Here are a few of the changes made in 1.3

general improvements:

* Eliminated the problem where the 4th FX buttons trigger other buttons (cue)
* added midi in functionality to the loop buttons
* added a note on to the jog wheel in scroll mode

performance:

* turned the filter knobs into double knobs (0-127 on the left and right side)
* added a "freeze function" to the bottom of each fader and top of the fx knobs. this sends out a 127 message only at the end of the movement
* added inverted messages to the faders (this allows an effect to be turned on by turning the fader down- not possible otherwise)
* added unique values to the FX buttons (these were used for direct FX selection- now added in Traktor Pro)


Problems updating your firmware?

first some basic rules:

  • serial to serial cables work perfectly and have reliable results (use one if you can!)
  • You must use a standard serial cable- not a null modem cable
  • serial to usb cables have very erratic results and cause problems (see bellow)
  • the com port your device is on needs to be between 2-8 (when using a USB)
  • follow the order of plugs and power very carefully




Everything works but at the end you get the following message:

Opening port 'COM3' ...
Loading Comms DLL
Loaded Comms DLL
Error No 15060: Error while opening the port
Error No 15026: Unable to open comms
Error No 15061: Error while closing the port

You have the wrong COM port selected. Each USB port has different COM address, so make sure you have the right one selected. COM 3 is usually a serial while 2, 4, 5 are usually one of the USB ports.


Everything works but at the end you get the following message:

this seems to only be happening to people with a usb to serial cable. if at all possible try a different cable or use good old serial port on someones computer. There was a also a report that this error was corrected when making sure the firmware kit is seated completely down on the board. This requires removal of the harness next to the header so it can sit down completely.

if you must use a USB to Serial, read this


If you are using a USB serial cable plug it in to a USB port

Now run device manager, if you don't know how to do this follow this link.

[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_Manager"]Device Manager - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Vista_Device_Manager.png" class="image"><img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/d7/Vista_Device_Manager.png/220px-Vista_Device_Manager.png"@@AMEPARAM@@en/thumb/d/d7/Vista_Device_Manager.png/220px-Vista_Device_Manager.png[/ame]

Now expand the ports branch,
(See thumbnail 1)

If you are using a built in serial port its is most likely assigned to COM 1,
Check that there are no ports with the same number, if another device is assigned the same COM port number you will have to change it to use another number.

If you are using a USB serial cable then it will appear in the list called something like "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port", if you are confused about which one it is remove your USB-serial cable from the USB port, then you should see that device disappear from the Ports tree.

Now right-click and open the properties of the Port you are using, and the click the port setting tab. (See thumbnail 2)

Check that your settings are the same as in thumbnail 2. If they are not change them.

Now if you need to change the serial port number click the advanced button. (See thumbnail 3)

You can now change the Com port number that is assigned to the serial port in the drop down menu. Select a number in the range of 2 - 8 that is not in use.

Click ok in the advanced settings window, then ok in the properties window.

If you are using a USB serial cable unplug it then plug it back in to the same USB port.

Now repeat the instructions in Ean's video.

You get a time out error

In the directory which you installed FDT, there will be a file called "FDTAdvancedSetup.exe". You can use this file to adjust the delays sent by FDT.

Essentially, a USB connection is way quicker than a serial connection and as such, sometimes your connection will be too quick for the software. The connection gets ahead of the instructions and the instructions get lost resulting in time outs.

So, back to FTDAdvancedSetup... go into this, you will see two boxes you can click on: "connection settings" and "configure serial port...". Click the "configure serial port..." box. In here, you will see a box "enable serial port delay fix". You want to make sure that's checked. Then where it says delay value, enter 1000 or something (1000 worked for me, you may need to go higher depending on the cable). Disregard where it says the lower the value the better, that doesn't really apply to us as we're just downloading the file, not doing live programming.

This should fix all those time outs and connection errors when using a USB to serial adapter.


After performing the set up steps and connecting the firmware header, the jog wheels still light up blue. When I touch them they turn red.

this is the only thing that would indicate there is something physically wrong with the firmware kit.
  • Check to make sure the kit is seated properly on the board in the right place(including removing the cable as shown in the video)
  • make sure its connected to the computer serial port or usb port.

If your unit will still not start up in boot mode (the unit is on but the wheels dont light up) then there is something wrong with the kit. Email us (service at djranking s.com) and we will send you a new one promptly.

Hi all, I successfully upgraded to fw1.4 via a serial-usb adapter on Vista. The trick was setting the baud rate to 9600. Serial ports default at 115200 which is too fast for adapters to handle, so you end up getting the time out error messages. This setting is located in the serial port's properties in the service manager.

Sorry, I don't remember how to get into disco mode. It was set randomly by pressing a certain sequence of the bottom row of buttons and it changed each time you did it. You can check the midi message from the pitch fader. If it's 1.4 it will be pitch bend. If it's 1.3 it will be Ch.1 cc14 or 15

How do i test for firmware 1.4?
Camilla Mayea
23.12.2011
Hi,

I upgraded my firmware just recently for the high resolution pitch faders and when I try to use traktor neither the tempo sliders or the platters function at all. I know that I can update the mapping, however I do not want to use the vci in the way that you have it set up with the mappings. I want to use it traditionally to cue the song up and adjust the pitch to beat match the song. I also want the pitch sliders to go from the very top to the very bottom and the pitch sliders in traktor to function accordingly.

How do I set this up?

Thanks,

Norm

Someone just told me that you may need to disable your anti virus software for the flash to work too. Apparently some programs interfere with the update causing a crash

Hi, I'm in the middle of trying to update my firmware to 1.4, I've loaded the program, I've followed the video everything goes well , I get to the page where you type in 24 for the chrystal speed, then you go next, then next again to the page where you can select the firmware - this page dose no appear for me, what I get is a page that says " Finish " and that's it, no way of selecting the firmware.

HELP!! anyone know whats going on here ???

thanks in advance

Success. Upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4 using a Serial-USB cable and late model Windows Vista laptop. No convenient access to old computers with Serial ports. The Serial-USB was the poor-quality, overpriced Dynex from Best Buy, but it was the only place open at the time for computer gear . Potential return in the near future?

A bit suspenseful and got my share of error/time-out messages, but reading over the troubleshooting section and trying a couple different settings did the trick. The FTDAdvancedSetup.exe maneuver helped clear remaining hurdles and saved the Vestax from looking like a brick. About an hour of work altogether.

OK so I just completed the firmware upgrade for my vci which was running 1.2 before. I just want to say, do not take the warnings about the usb to serial cables lightly. I did and figured I could get it to work... After waisting 3 hours of my day I finally decided to go buy a serial to serial cable and use it on my mom's old computer, and of course it worked the first time. If I were djranking s I would just say DO NOT BUY THE USB TO SERIAL CONVERTERS!! because if you do there is a 90% chance it WILL NOT WORK! I don't know why they don't, but they don't... these converters have been a waste of time for many people on this community and I hope any future firmware upgraders will heed my warning.

Hey,
for those encountering the same problem - you might just be plain stupid, just like me :-D
After performing the update i always tried the confirmation toggle for the 1.3 firmware, pressing the button on the right upper corner of the left jogwheel.

BUT obviosly i was updating to firmware 1.4 -> no confirmation toggle whatsoever. When i tried to launch the disco-mode easteregg it worked -> update complete -> facepalm

Hi quentin_konstantino
That's no fun. I'm afraid I don't know an immediate fix for this. I see you've tried it a few times, but maybe re-download the .mot file, try it again from the beginning, checking each step against the video's instructions. Use the serial-serial cable. if that doesn't work, look through this thread to find the posts about adjusting the speed/rate of the transfer (apparently it can be too fast sometimes).

it took me a long time to get it to work, my solution was using a different serial-usb cable. I hope someone with more tech skill than me will post to help you out.

good luck,
rite

I unplug the vci but when i plug it back in again it still boots with firmware 1.1
Tried on two win XP - PCs already AND tried with firmware 1.2 and 1.3 - same result. Any Suggestions?

i'm getting an Error No 15024: Boot failed, I'm starting to believe that the cable I bought might not be working?

the upgrade pcb is flush with the vci's and i've tried all the com ports, but the upgrade software isn't recognizing the vci on any of the com ports

is there any way to tell if the serial cable i bought is a null modem cable rather than a serial cable? the description of the cable i purchased described it as a db9 serial to serial male to female, not sure where to go or what to try from here

thanks for the help

Hallo all,
please I need some help, since this is really exeeding my tech knowledge.

I was upgrading my charming VCI 100 FW 1,2 to 1,4.

I use Win 7 x64, i7 1,7GHz, 8GB Ram true DDR3, FDT 4,07.

I used USB 2,0 to Serial with settings: COM 6, waiting time 16 ms, timeout 100ms, packet size 4096 bytes, plug and play enabled.

I flashed software with SUCCES - no timeouts, no connection problems - I got answer from soft, that image was succesfully written to device
BUT (!!!)
or my device falls back to 1,2 or its not recognized by computer (after upgrade plugged to computer) and its unknown device - USB controller. (I had 5 succesful attempts for upgrade).
I never got to disco mode or I saw that pitch faders behaves as in 1,2 which was before. VCI is in mint condition, computer is in mint condition, so I really do not know what to do.

PLEASE WHAT IS SOLUTION

PS:I tried to experiment with different port settings in terms of time, but it just lead to time out and to error 15024 (like timeout problem when you use soft 4,05 on Win 7 x64).
PPS: I started to upgrade with version 4,05 - but no differences

I follow the instructions in the video too, so this troubleshooting is making it look like my usb-serial cable is not good for this (I was warned). I'll try any suggestions anyone has. I hope to get access to a desktop pc with serial in early February. Either way, I will post here if/when I am successful in the 1.4 updgrade for the benefit of anyone following this.

thanks,

I ended up having success by using a different usb to serial cable. My experience supports the advice on this community that usb-serial cables are problematic for this compared to serial-serial. some usb-serial work (the one I just borrowed) and some usb-serial do not work (the one I bought from ebay). I don't know the brand or source of the one I borrowed unfortunately.

I am VERY happy with the 1.4 firmware, a definite improvement for the vci-100. To everyone out there with their vci all taken apart on their couch getting no love, hang in there. Use this community and keep at it, and you'll be all good.

many thanks to the contributors on this community .

Note to sherlock
Have Windows 64 7 myself but was too scared to try. Having just upgraded myself last Saturday without any snags can only suggest to keep life simple and grab an oldish PC with XP sp2 with serial port, serial to serial, Rennasis 40.2.00 and follow the tutorial for guaranteed results. Never switched the thing on before I did this mind but nothing goes red and first time I used it the pitch went up to 7.5% not 8% but that is a damn sight better than the original small %. Kinda feel for the guys who have had problems. Its better to get cable from DJTT because serial to serial are pretty non existent in UK these days and even if you find one they are around 20 quid. Works out about 4 or 5 quid from these guys. No brainer if you ask me.

Hey guys, Well that took some will power I can tell you. Got my upgrade kit on the Wednes day last week and the VCI 100 Mk1 came the Friday. Have seen link to where I got it really cheap, no green sticker on back but I digress. Got the serial cable and upgrade chip from DJTT, I suggest anyone wanting to upgrade does the same just to be sure. Got my old PC, Windows XP service pack 2 with serial port. Took 1 year to fire up, 6 months to load Rennasis and about 30 seconds to load FW 1.4. like I say no problems, kept it plain and simple and to the script. The version used in video tutorial is 4.02.00 and that is the version I used. The link on web site is for something like 4.05.00, not sure if that makes any difference or not. I didn't even switch VCI on before I took it apart. Like i say, guaranteed no hassle with XP, DJTT serial cable, Rennasis 4.02.00. Just make sure chip is properly mounted into slot. First time I came to switch on VCI for boot mode, one jog wheel went red but chip was not aligned correctly. Placed chip straight and away it went. Only prob now is pitch not moving more than +2 but have not tried Shift+ pitch to centre as suggested in PDF with 3.6.4 folder. Thanks for everthing DJTT, keep on trucking. 10 4.

Hi guys

I got some problem,

Roubignol send me his firmware kit & usb cable cause i din't received my order yet.

I did the firmware upgrade... I guess it's succesful but am not sure of it.
How do I know it's upgraded? In the software i got something like "writen" or something like this, and no error. So I disconect and then I try on my mac. If i use the setup wizard with vci 100 it works, but I can't control with my vci if I import the djtt TSI file.

Can someone help me?

This time I used the verification

thanks a lot

Are your in/out ports set to the VCI when that mapping is selected in the drop down in the controller manager?

Turns out my upgrade plate had a blob of solder joining two of the pins on the top side of the plate together. Removed it with a soldering iron and it worked a treat.

Just to confirm, the VCI does not function correctly or control anything in Traktor when the lights are flashing? Does it work before the lights start flashing? The new firmware has the disco mode, but you shouldn't be able to accidentally put it in disco mode and even if you did everything still works. If it doesn't work I would try to re-flash it.
