Here you always find the newest firmware for your DROID master and X7 expander. The version name consists of a color and a version number. When your DROID starts, the upper eight LEDs will show your firmware version by lighting one or more LEDs in that color. E.g. if 1 + 3 light in blue, the version is blue-13.

Note: Please join our Discord server and go to #droid-firmwares for newer firmwares, beta versions and discussions about DROID firmwares.

Here is how to install a new firmware on your DROID master:

2. copy that onto your DROID's micro SD card
3. rename it to droid.fw (this is important)!
4. insert the card into your DROID master and press the button

Note: When you upgrade from a green to a blue version, one extra step is needed. Please have a look into the manual.

Patch examples

DROID Gogglepack

The DROID Googglepack is a contribution from Robert Willner. It contains tools that make editing DROID patches easier. This pack provides language-extensions for Sublime and VSCode.

The core features are:

• Syntax highlighting for all relevant parts of the droid programming language
Dark & light themes based on Monokai
• Code snippets for all circuits (including input & output parameters)
• Code snippets that provide a standardized way to describe your patch (and generate print layouts with the webapp)
• Easily upload patches via sysex with your X7 expander
• Integrated HTML-file-builder that allows you to:
• print your patch configuration and description (hardware-layout / inputs / outputs / variablenamings)
• map input & output registers to variables very easily so you don't have to think about register-numberings anymore
• provide quick access for other users to understand (and reuse) your patches or only snippets
