Update your Tilda Mk3

This websites will help you to update your Tilda Mk3 badge. But be careful, following these instructions will delete all files and setting on your badge, so make sure you have copies of everything!


Before you start

You need to put your badge into DFU mode. To do this please press down the joystick button in the center while at the same time quickly pushing the reset button at the back.

Your screen should go white and then you'll now be ready to update your badge. Note: screen does not always go white, but should go into DFU mode, so if you do the right button presses try it and see.

OSX

Prerequisites needed for Mac OS X

1. XCode (from App Store)

2. Python & pip

  • Homebrew method
    1. Install Homebrew and Pip
    2. brew install libusb
    3. pip install libusb1 pyusb
  • MacPorts method
    1. sudo port install usbutils py-pip
    usbutils provides e.g. lsusb, useful for knowing if the badge is connected in DFU mode
    2. sudo pip install libusb1 pyusb

lsusb
