NuEVI is easiest to build using the Arduino IDE. You will also need to download and install Teensyduino to build for and upload to the Teensy.
A few libraries need to be added that are not part of the default Arduino install. These can be added directly via the Library Manager in the Arduino IDE:
- Adafruit MPR121
- Adafruit GFX
- Adafruit SSD1306 (version 1.2.9 or above)
You also need to install Edgar Bonet's Filters library,
specifically the fix-integer-overflow branch. One of the easiest way to do that is to download the
git repo as a zip file,
and then add that in the Arduino IDE (under Sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP library)
Open NuEVI.ino in the Arduino IDE. Under "Tools -> Board", select "Teensy 3.2 / 3.1". Then set "Tools -> USB Type" to "MIDI".
Connect the NuEVI via USB to your computer, open the Teensy application and make sure the "Auto" option is selected (the green round icon). In Arduino IDE, select "Sketch -> Verify/Compile" and once that is complete press the reset button on the Teensy chip (you have to remove the top cover on the NuEVI to access this). Upon resetting, it should upload the new firmware onto the NuEVI.
After uploading new firmware, you may need to reset the config memory of the NuEVI. It's a good idea to do between version upgrades, since the config parameter format often changes. To do this, press and hold the MENU and ENTER buttons while turning on the NuEVI.
