Edit Settings

Once the Firmware is uploaded, changes can be made either using the serial interface (recommended) or flashing an additional settings file.

Enter Settings Using Serial Interface

• Open an Instance to the Serial Interface (for example using the Arduino IDE or platformIO)
  • make sure the correct COMport is selected
  • set BAUD rate to 115200
• Send the text setup over the serial interface (line must terminate with \n)
• The board stops all operation and goes into setup mode

• Follow the instructions to add, delete, swap or edit modules
• Each action comes with a set of available options that are always printed on the serial monitor
• Send the letter or number of the setting you wish to access over the serial monitor (line must terminate with \n)

• For some modules like input and macro as well as for internal events additional settings are available

• After finishing your changes return to the starting menu (where the modules get listed)

• type and send r to restart the device

• The device restarts and starts sending numerous messages via the serial interface, detailing the function of the modules

Manually Create and Upload Settings File

• Download the latest release of mklittlefs
• Unzip and transfer the mklittlefs executable to the location you want to create the settings file
• Create a new folder "data" in the same location
• Create a new text file data/settings.txt
• Open the text file and copy all settings in JSON format
• Save the text file and open a command prompt
• Navigate to the location of your mklittlefs executable (using cd)
• Copy, paste and execute the command:

mklittlefs -b 4096 -p 256 -s 16384 -c ./data settings.bin

• If successful, a new file settings.bin has been created in the same location
• Open the flash download tool as described in ↑Flash Firmware
• Press ... and navigate to the new settings.bin
• Select the binary for upload and use 0x290000 as target offset
• Upload the file using the same upload settings as in ↑Flash Firmware
