Updating or loading TeensyBat software using a Windows computer without installing Arduino and Teensyduino.



This seems to work on Windows XP and higher.

STEP 1 unzip all the files on the updatexxxxxx.zip file in one folder.

STEP 2
Your computer needs the Teensy serial driver, windons10 has one built in, on older systems first install the serial driver.
Simply run serial_install.exe on older windows versions by doucble click and follow the instructions (Yes OK Next, whatever)

STEP 3
Now, plug-in the Teensy micro USB (right side of the detector) and connect to your computer, the computer will find a new device (Teensy Serial). Finish the installation of the driver by clicking Next, OK, Yes or whatever button comes up.
   
STEP 4
Next run Teensy.exe

STEP 5
Select File and choose the xxxxxxxxx.hex file (*)

STEP 6
Click the dark green button so it lights up and you can read "Auto" (might work without auto)

STEP 7
now run reboot.exe (if you can reach the small switch on the teensy you can press that instead)

The teensy should reboot load the software and start up again. This should only take seconds.

STEP 8 Disconnect the USB connector and use the TeensyBat detector. 

There is a small chance the reboot will make the computer find an other USB HID driver and the upload will abort.
Simply try again, I am sure it will work the next time.

If your detector has any problem try a “factory reset” first by holding the left button and turn on the detector. Release the button as soon as “Resetting to defaults”appears.

Good luck!

(*) There are different hex files.
1.0 which is the initial release

1.0x has other filenames and additonal playback features (training mode)

1.1devplaybackdisplay.hex (standard detector, only modification possible is for backlight control)
1.1devplaybackdisplay_GPS.hex (detector with GPS module)
1.1devplaybackdisplay_TEMP.hex (detector with temperature sensor)
1.1devplaybackdisplay_GPS_TEMP.hex (detector with GPS module and temperature sensor)

Any modifications and duscussion can be found on the PJRC forum https://forum.pjrc.com/threads/38988-Bat-detector/page28 and page 30 for backlight control.
Latest software developmenst on githib here: https://github.com/CorBer/teensy_batdetector

These latest hex files have alternative playback sample rates that allow 1/10 ratio playback.

New features are expected soon.
