ADDICT v3.0.1 User Manual Introduction
©2017 All rights reserved - 13 -
To connect the ADDICT to the PC requires a USB to RS485 tool, such as the DIGITECH RS485 tool,
or Enttec USB Pro.
To apply the firmware update;
1. Enter Boot Mode
a. Either by pressing ‘Connect to Device’ from the PC while “Control Freak ADDICT”
is displayed on screen at start-up,
b. Or by pressing both the ESC and ENTER Keys while “Control Freak ADDICT” is
displayed on screen.
c. If successful, the screen will display “Firmware Update”
2. Use the Tool shown below. Select the firmware to be uploaded and press Upload
Firmware. Both the application and the ADDICT will display the percentage of firmware
that has been uploaded.
Troubleshooting
• If the tool stops uploading firmware, repeat the process. If it continues to happen
contact Creative Lighting
• If the process stops, turn off the ADDICT and repeat the process. During the process the
firmware is erased from the device, if the ADDICT attempts to run with no firmware “No
firmware” will be displayed on the screen.
• Stopping the process during upload will not ‘brick’ the ADDICT, however it will not be
usable until the firmware has been successfully updated.
