Hi!

Am I right in thinking that I can use the Ksoloti patching software to connect to the orignal Axoloti? I don’t have the Ksoloti core (yet), but I wanted to try out the more up to date patcher.

Should I be able to see it in the Devices? The console just says “No matching USB devices found.”

Many thanks in advance, and really chuffed that this project is forging ahead 🙂

Si

Hi, welcome to the new old \*oloti. In **File \> Preferences** , set Firmware Mode to “Axoloti Legacy” and restart the Patcher.

In the next release (1.1.0) this will be a bit more straightforward, also the recent Ksoloti fixes and additional firmware modes (SPILink, USBAudio) will be available for Axoloti boards.

Still thinking about doing changes so both boards can connect without having to selectively choose only one then restart, however the Patcher code is quite patched up in that area and lots of stuff would have to be rewritten.

Ahh brilliant, that’s working for me now. Great work btw the editor feels super tight and I like the themes.

Cheers!

Hi and thank you all for carrying on with this wonderful project 😉

I also have an Axoloti (old), but even following the steps described above, the software cannot see the board.

Should I proceed with rescue mode?

\*Specs:

- Ksoloti 1.0.12-8
- Board: Axoloti Core
- OS: MacOS 14.8.3\*

Hi, yes rescue mode might help solve whatever old version is on the Axoloti. It also does not do any no permanent changes on the board - if you happen to need to go back to old Axoloti (or upgrade to Ksoloti 1.1.0) you can just use rescue mode again.
