Re: Old LP1 upgrade problem

[Dennis M <wytchcrypt@gmail.com>]

You're very welcome!  I should also add a couple things I experienced...

1)  I tried multiple firmware releases (1.38g, 1.30, 2.22, 2.02, 2.06) and none had the "assignable function" mellotron feature described in the 1.38 manual...at least not that I could find in any master or track menu item or button assignment mode.  If I'm missing something obvious about how to implement this, could someone kindly tell me how to make it work?

2)  My LP1 completely hung twice...once during my initial downgrade from 2.22 to 1.30 and again on the upgrade from 2.02 to 2.06.  I'd read on the Looperlative FB page that turning the LP1 off while hung in upgrade/downgrade mode could corrupt the machine requiring it to be sent back to Bob for repair...and with his limited involvement in the project these days, who knows how long that could take.  I waited about 5 minutes while the machine was hung and took a gamble and power cycled it.  Luckily both times it started back up with no problems.  In other words, don't undertake this upgrade without understanding the risk of turning your LP1 into a brick!

Finally got it working!

For any others struggling with this, connected the LP1 to my router...

1)  Found my router IP 10.1.10.1 and set my LP1 IP to 10.1.10.20 which was > my laptop IP

2)  Set my LP1 Gateway to my router IP

3)  Set my LP1 Netmask to 255.255.255.0

4)  Opened a CMD window and successfully ran ping 10.1.10.20

Still couldn't connect with the browser so just for fun I ran the LP1Ctl.jar and it actually connected!  After a couple minutes I looked at my browser tab (which I'd left open) and it had connected as well.  Ran a few upgrades with the java tool.  Shut it all down and restarted...browser won't connect again, but the java tool still works.  What a mess, but at least I got out of the buggy OS I'd loaded to something better.

Thanks for your help Rob :-)

Mr. Anthony Wiench,

There is no one to take you off of this list (once you’ve subscribed) except yourself.

Yes, it’s true, no one can take you off the list but you.

The original owner/operator (Kim Flint) died years ago and there is nobody at home but us LD chickens (the remaining members of the list).

That said . . . there is a mechanic that you can initiate to get yourself off the list.

Follow these instructions.

To unsubscribe, send an mail with the word “unsubscribe" in both the subject and body, and no signature files or anything else, to:

<Loopers-Delight-request@loopers-delight.com>

If per chance you are on the digest version of Looper’s Delight, send your unsubscribe request to:

<Loopers-Delight-d-request@loopers-delight.com>

Good bye and good luck.

You have to do this yourself.

No one here can do it for you.
