How to update the firmware ?

Step 1: Checking the current firmware installed

The current firmware version installed on your module is displayed at the module startup.

You can also check the version installed by moving the encoder to the left until you reach the burger menu, click on the encoder, and move until the "SYSTEM INFO" menu.

You can check if the new version is properly installed by redoing step 1

Step 7: Reinitialize the Micro SD Card

The micro SD card of the module must be formatted to exFat. (Factory formatting is already in exFat format)

Download the factory microSD card content here:
https://storage.googleapis.com/nanopolis/firmwares/SDCard-v1.0.6-beta.zip

Unzip the downloaded zip file, and copy all directories to your microSD card (Instruments, Projects, Samples, System and Wavetables)

The contents of the card should look like this, the Instruments, Projects, Samples, System and Wavetables directories should be at the root of the SD card.

On Mac it must look like On WIndows it must look like
