Preparing presentation on M1

Update via web
1. Before power on M1, plug Ethernet cable in M1
2. Power on M1. If you haven't set up internet connection, follow the steps below, otherwise you can press and hold the most left button to start web updating.
3. In M1 GUI, click on 'Settings' to go to System settings window
4. In System settings window, Network section, click on Enable button to enable DHCP client (you may need to try several times). If you get IP address, the Network setup is done, otherwise you need to set up IP address manually.
5. Here is an example of filling out network data manually:
  IP address: 192.168.1.41
  Netmask: 255.255.255.0
  Gateway: 192.168.1.1
  DNS: 8.8.8.8
6. In Remote access section, fill out the login name and Password.
7. Click on OK button to finish network setup.
8. On your PC:
  ping 'IP address' (e.g. ping 192.168.1.41)
  If you get response, means your M1 is connected to the internet.
9. You can now press on the most left button or click on 'Web update' button, and then click 'Update from web' button in Update window.
Update via serial cable
wget https://raw.github.com/milkymist/scripts/master/scripts/reflash_m1.sh
chmod +x reflash_m1.sh
sudo ./reflash_m1.sh --snapshot milkymist-firmware-11282011-0543

Create your slide as an image. Size: 512x384; Format: png or jpeg.
Create patch (fnp text file, e.g. slide1.fnp) which includes the image. Just have the following 3 lines in the file:
imagefile1=picture_filename
decay=0
image1_a=1

Setup internet connection
Follow steps 1 to 9 in section Update via web
Connect PC and M1 via FTP
1. Launch FTP client on PC
2. ftp put image and patch files to /ssd/patchpool/ on M1

Now you can mix patches, the ones act as presentation slides and the ones create visual effects, in the order you desire.
