WiConnect
WiConnect manages the USB, BLE-MIDI or WiFi-OSC/WS communications of the WiDig. It runs on the WiDig together with its other firmware.
Use Connect (v1.6.4 or higher for MacOS, v1.54 or higher for Windows) to find out which version of WiConnect is running on the WiDig. Click on the text "Firmware" (not the firmware number) in the upper left corner of Connect to switch to displaying the WiConnect version information. Click again, now on the text "WiConnect", to switch back to the firmware information.
WiConnect can be uploaded using DoayeeESP32DFU for MacOS or Windows.
To upload one of WiConnect versions listed below, download it and execute these steps (do not click the "Erase ESP" button):
- Click "Remove" in the digitizer view of the WiDig entry in Connect. Make sure no other software is using the serial port of the WiDig.
- Open DoayeeESP32DFU. If on MacOS you get a warning from Apple's GateKeeper that it can't run and should be moved to the trash then the easiest way around this is to right-click (or click-while-holding-down-the-control-key) the app. This will give you the option to open the app.
- Select the Serial Port (contains the text "SLAB" on MacOS and "COM" on Windows) from the pull-down menu.
- Set the Baud Rate to 926100.
- Select the WiConnect file in the "Flash App .." row.
- Click "Flash".
- When the text "Hard Resetting via RTS pin" appears in the terminal window the upload is completed.
- Click "Refresh Devices" from the pull-down menu in Connect to start using the WiDig.

Known Issues
- WiConnect 1.919: it is not recommended to use a sampling interval smaller than 10 ms as it might not be possible to communicate with the WiDig, requiring clearing the configuration or even re-uploading the firmware and WiConnect.
- DoayeeESP32DFU: If on MacOS you get a warning from Apple's GateKeeper that it can't run and should be moved to the trash then the easiest way around this is to right-click (or click-while-holding-down-the-control-key) the app. This will give you the option to open the app.
- ESPFlasherGUI does not run on MacOS Sierra. On MacOS Catalina it greys out buttons after uploading - restart if more uploads are needed.
