           Firmware Updates

        Page last modification: Nov 6th, 2023

Occasionally there may be a Firmware Update to improve the Reflex LiveLoop user interface or add features.
Please bookmark this page for future reference. Any updates will be posted on Muff Wiggler!

*Note: If the "Type" is not a Core update, then will be a single step using Arduino IDE
            If the "Type" is a Core update, then a second step of holding REC + PLAY when LEDs flashing is required
            -if you missed the LED's flashing to do core update, it will indicate "to-do" again on next power-up.

*Note2: You will need to install the CH340 driver for the Reflex to show as a Serial Port. See attached .pdf in zip file
