Welcome to Daisy (Get Started Here)

Hello, I just recently bought a Noise Engineering Legio eurorack module which uses Daisy. They say we can write our own firmware using Daisy. This is completely new to me though I would love to learn how to write firmware for my new module. Please help, thank you

Have a look at the daisy wiki

At the moment, one example is provided for the legio:

No template for ā€œLegioā€ in Oopsy yet - Perhaps ask Noise Engineering / Cyclingā€™74 to add it, if you plan on using Max gen~

thank you very much for the quick response and the helpful information. I have one more question, should I first buy a Daisy Seed (hardware) to experiment with as opposed to using my Noise Engineering Legio eurorack module?

Thank you again,
Michael

I really donā€™t know what to advice you here - an extra daisy would be nice offcause, but the legio should be enough.

I donā€™t know if they use the seed or the patch-sm

It doesnā€™t come with schematics (and I asked, but they kindly refused to give it away - for versio at least), so perhaps itā€™s not easy to ā€œcloneā€ it on a breadboard if you get a daisy seed for development. Maybe itā€™s obvious from looking in the source-code how things are wired ā€¦ I havenā€™t looked - I usually stay away from modules that I donā€™t have the schematics for.

All you have is the pin numbers here.

If you think you need one for development, buy 2x legio.

If you want to tinker, add your own pots, switches, leds, display etc, without risking the legio ā€¦ perhaps get the Daisy Pod when itā€™s avaiable again.

Or patch.Init() ā€” Electro-Smith

or wait - see this

Hi there

Iā€™m completely new to this.

I went to the web programmer and the DFU in FS mode wasnā€™t listed. I found drivers on the internet but now the ā€˜Flash Blink!ā€™ button is still greyed out

I found a page on the forum that mentioned this but suggested a linux solution while Iā€™m using windows

If anyone out there could help that would be great!

Thanks

Check out the topic:

and check your USB cable - could be defective or power only.

Might need to run zadig:
If you are on Windows you might need to use Zadig to select a different USB driver.

To begin, download Zadig. Use the most recent version.

Launch Zadig and then put the Daisy into bootloader mode by holding BOOT and pressing RESET.
Click the Options menu in Zadig and select ā€œList All Devices.ā€

In the drop down menu inside the main window, select ā€œDFU in FS mode,ā€ followed by selecting WinUSB in the target driver box.

Click ā€œReplace Driver.ā€ Zadig will update to the appropriate driver to flash Daisy.
These instructions are also in the Windows Toolchain Install Wiki page on GitHub with screenshots.

edit: To clarify, Zadig is not only for command line programming but can be used for the Web Progammer as well on Windows. It should fix the connectivity problem if the USB driver is to blame.

Iā€™ll order a new cable and see how I do. Thanks!

Anyone know if legio used a seed or a patch?

Noise Engineering Legio uses a Seed2 DFM.

This is a soon to be released version of the Daisy which is an improved version of the Daisy Seed.

I am learning Pd, Plugdata, Arduino IDE, and Max MSP.
I have managed to flash a Pd file to Daisy Pod and it worked!
I have managed to flash an Arduino file using the IDE and it worked! Actually tried a number of files.
I have not managed to flash a Max oopsy file to the Daisy Pod. I tried the oopsy_pod template and all I get is noise and feedback.

Could you please do a video on using this template, setting up with the Daisy Pod, and explaining what the template parts do?

It would help greatly!

Hey Astrin!

Thank you for your video suggestion!
Even for folks with Daisy Seed, analyzing Daisy Podā€™s template and JSON file is a great way to learn how hardware configuration and mapping work with Daisy!

And I saw in another forum post that you were able to solve the oopsy_pod issue and Iā€™m happy to hear that! Iā€™ll be having a closer look at that post in a few.

By the way, welcome to the community!!
