CTR2-Flex/CTR2-Dial firmware release v2.05.01

This version is a minor update that fixes a bug that caused the selected mode (MIDI or WiFi) to toggle when the unit was rebooted by pressing the M5 button on the orange ring while the unit was running on batteries.

v2.05.00 includes support for naming the map in CTR2-Dial to reflect the 3rd-party app the map is configured for. It also includes support for up to 60 buttons and include a new # Buttons: option in the Settings menu to control how many buttons appear on the Buttons menu.

----------------------------------

This zip file contains the CTR2-Flex.bin firmware. It is used to flash the CTR2-Flex/CTR2-Dial firmware on to CTR2-Uno, CTR2-Duo, CTR2-Quad, and the older CTR2-Dial and CTR2-Flex hardware. 

Windows and Mac users can use ESPConnect, a browser based flash download tool. The CTR2-Flex and CTR2-Dial manuals have been updated with information on using this new tool.

The CTR2-Flex_install.sh file is a script that you can use to install the firmware on your M5Dial based CTR2 controller without the need of the EspressIF Flash Download tool. This file is most useful on Linux and Mac PC. 

>>> If you use the script file remember to make it an executable file. <<<

To download these files to your device, extract them into a folder then use the instructions in Appendix A: Install or Update CTR2-Flex Firmware section in the CTR2-Flex or CTR2-Dial Firmware Manuals. 

NOTE
============================================================================================================================================
This version contains both CTR2-Flex and CTR2-Dial firmware, therefore, operation manuals for both firmwares are included in this zip file. There are separate hardware manuals for CTR2-Uno, CTR2-Duo, and CTR2-Quad. The CTR2-Uno and CTR2-Duo manuals can be used with older single and dual-knob CTR2-Dial and CTR2-Flex hardware.
