<summary>USB Connector</summary>

We recommend to charge MUGIC™ before use (this will take approximately 1 hour). MUGIC™ will immediately begin charging when plugged into a USB power source supplying 5V with at least 500mA. The device requires at least 5 minutes of charging before being able to be powered on, if the power is critically low

### Initial Download Instructions

#### 1. Download Silicon Labs Driver

First, go to Silicon Labs site, and download and install the [USB driver, CP210x USB toUART Bridge VCP Drivers](https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers) (there are both Windows and Mac drivers here)

#### 2. Quick Start Guide

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=UaLeuFfZD0o>" %}

Network Name and Password: Every MUGIC™ comes with its own unique 6-digits numbers. Turn the power on; MUGIC™ will automatically start in WIFI mode. The blue light(LED 3) will blink fast, then slows down to blinking every 1 second, which means MUGIC™ successfully created a WIFI network. Find:

* **Network Name:** The default network name is “MugicConnectXXXXXX” (‘XXXXXX’means 6 digits. For example, it will look like “MugicConnect123876”). Join the network.
* **Password:** Enter the default password “mugicXXXXXX” (case sensitive, followed by the 6 digits in the network name. Using the above example, the password would bemugic123876.)

**Troubleshooting:** If the WIFI network name doesn’t show up in your computer WIFI, turn your WIFI off, wait for 15+ seconds and turn back on. It should usually come up immediately, but it might take a few tries and eventually, it should show up.

#### 3. Shake it all about

{% embed url="<https://giphy.com/gifs/thedrewbarrymoreshow-drinks-alcohol-shaker-yS9P8bcsNaM9LfTOwR?utm_campaign=Embeds&utm_medium=embed&utm_source=iframe&utm_term=https://mugicmotion.webflow.io/>" %}

Before use, it is helpful to shake MUGIC™ for a few seconds; this is for sensor’s calibration purposes. Shake them mimicking the movements of cocktail shakers, with quite fast motions. Try to also shake in different directions, twisting your wrist. Just a few seconds is enough.

* **Warning:** Please be careful not to throw or drop MUGIC™! The resin casing is fragile and can easily crack if you drop onto a hard surface.

#### 4. Download Max Patches and Ableton Live

Download Max patches / Ableton LIVE set demos to use the data sent by MUGIC™. Max users, open MUGIC\_Connect.proj first, and have it open for the duration of your work with MUGIC™. Also Download the MUGIC starter.

1. Download Max
2. Run Max in ROSETTA MODE
3. Go to your Document folder, locate Max 8 folder, locate (or create) a new folder named "Project" and put this MUGIC\_Connect\_1.5.0 and MUGIC\_Starter. Then unzip.
4. In Max, go to File > Show Package Manager > Install CNMAT External Package
5. Then open a file named MUGIC\_Connect\_1.5.0.maxproj. and MUGIC® Starter.
   {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Ableton Users Download" %}

* You will need Max for LIVE capability (LIVE suite).  If you get an error about OSC-route, OpenSoundControl not loading,  please download CNMAT pack from the package manager in Max.
* Ableton and Max will both need to open in Rosetta mode.
* Added: M1 compatible for USB mode, 3rd track with "Max\_starter" .amxd added for those who want to build M4L from scratch
* IMPORTANT: Put this MugicLiveDemo Project-1 into **\[User]/Music/Ableton/User Library folder,** so all the dependencies will load.

3. Turn your MUGIC® off, wait 15 seconds, and turn it back on again. If you are using a USB, please also disconnect and reconnect. &#x20;

**Troubleshooting:** If it doesn't work, try turning it off and back on again. If your power is low, due to USB connectivity issues, it's more likely to fail. Please charge your MUGIC® before trying again.

New Firmware update: This version lets one MUGIC to connect to multiple computers.
{% endembed %}

{% embed url="<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BKzKbCuPv5fDsymzHgfpelpTdNIJYJcP/view>" %}

1. Download Mugic Firmware 1.5 bin, and MUGIC.app (if you don’t have it already, link above)
2. Turn the MUGIC power on and connect MUGIC to the computer via a USB cable.

   Open MUGIC.app and select the MUGIC@ banner at the top.

   Scroll to “dev/tty.SLAB\_USBtoUART.” The blue light should be flashing. If it's not flashing and you see a dim solid blue light, it’s in an ‘unhappy state.’ Try repeating the process a bit slower. Once the blue light is flashing, click the "Upload" banner at the top. Then click “Choose File” and select "MugicFirmware-1.5.bin.”

   Click the green “Upload Firmware” button. The upload should progress to 100%, ending with a ‘done!’ prompt.
3. Connect to your MUGIC sensor via wifi which will show up in your network.  Once you are connected, open a browser and type:192.168.4.1/set?wifi=s3The last digit is the number of computers you can connect with one MUGIC.  So if you want to connect to 4 computers, it would be:192.168.4.1/set?wifi=s4
