Firmware 3.x.x -- where to download? When will guide be updated?
Hi, I noticed a couple days ago that the cyton trigger tutorial was updated to report that now Firmware 3.x.x incorporates the code needed to receive an external trigger/marker that can be added to the output txt file (this page) . However when I follow the link to 'how to upgrade to Firmware 3.x.x' I only seem to find instructions for updating to Firmware 2.x.x (this page) and I cannot seem to find the new firmware on GitHub. Do you have a general idea when will the firmware will be available (and when will the tutorial be updated)?
cheers (and thank you for implementing this!)

I downloaded the library and (I think) I
successfully uploaded the default_board firmware as said in the guide.
When I launch the GUI from Processing I can see a response to when I
type commands like '~5' and ':' in the debug window (even if numeric
commands like ~5 also power off the connected channel [i.e., #5 in the
example]..) so I take this to imply I successfully updated to the 3.0.0
firmware? However, when I type '/0' or any of the other '/' command so
to change the mode and allow a trigger input nothing happens and the
debug window doesn't really react, so I am uncertain how to check if it
is working. I tried connecting my trigger output to pin D17, but nothing
shows in the output file. How can I check that the external trigger is
functioning?
One question, if I launch the stand-alone GUI, do
the commands above work just the same (in the absence of me getting any
feedback since I don't have a similar debugging window as Processing
has)?
Sorry to sound like I have no idea what I am talking about,
but I DO have no idea what I'm talking about -- this is all new
territory to me..!!

PS: re the documentation pages, somehow the "http://" lost a ':' in the first link, and migrated at the end of the other link... if you fix manually both links open [note by William @wjcroft: I just fixed your bad links, sorry didnt catch that earlier]
How's it going? (Other than these setbacks ha)
Which beta do you have? Please note a new beta was released https://github.com/OpenBCI/OpenBCI_32bit_Library/releases/tag/v3.0.0-beta4 which for sure has these commands.
Could you try over the air uploading the newest beta4?
Looking forward to getting board mode changing working with you!
Beta4 folder, but when I launch the GUI (from processing) and try
entering '//' or "/2" (which I assume is what the documentation meant, instead of "~2" which is for the sampling rate?) no response is returned in the debugger (unlike
what the doumentation says).
Suggestions?
Thank you

Hey AJ, ok so it turns out I also had to update the Processing OpenBCI gui!
Now that I've both updated to beta4 AND updated the OBCI_GUI for processing it looks like it is recognizing modes. Only thing, unlike what is said in the documentation (See link in my previous post), typing "//" returns "Failure: invalid board mode$$$"
Typing "/2" or "/0" returns "Success: Board type set$$$ but it does not tell me WHICH board type is set. I know, the docs say "/2" is for analog, and I'm ok with that, but for the future it would be great to get confirmation ;-)
Cheers

PS: there is no command with which I could, from the keyboard, manually drop a marker in the SavedData is there?
