Re: Pi GPIO in place of USB-UART

Thanks for that tip! Got the Blink test program working, so I'm definitely flashing the board ok. Will re-flash the G29 HEX tomorrow and set up the breadboard for testing. [edit] Just wired everything up, but used the UART-USB adaptor instead - seems to work (dpad etc), although I've not tested the ...

Re: Pi GPIO in place of USB-UART

In my haste I soldered the AVR directly to some perfboard (along with the resistors, reset switch and a pin header so I can plug it directly into the Pi). It's probably de-solderable, if I had the tools to do so. Luckily, it was cheap and I've got another on the way. I think I'll just use a breadboa...

Re: Pi GPIO in place of USB-UART

So have you actually got this to work? I'm still unsure as to whether my AVR is flashed properly. I received my USB-UART adaptor this morning and managed to re-flash the firmware file to it, but it still does nothing. Just out of curiosity, if I had the Rx/Tx connections the wrong way around it woul...

Re: Pi GPIO in place of USB-UART

Thanks pal. I'll do some tinkering and see if I can get it up and running. [edit] Ok, so first off my config.txt needed editing to include the line enable_uart=1 . Now ttyAMA0 is listed in my /dev/ directory. The problem now is that the Gimx application doesn't detect the adaptor. I need to mess aro...

Pi GPIO in place of USB-UART

So I'm attempting to put together an all-in-one solution for using my DFGT on PS4. I'm wanting to use a Pi Zero in place of a PC/laptop, purely for convenience (and the fact I've got a spare Pi kicking around). Reading through the Wiki it sounds as though I can use the Pis GPIO/UART in place of the ...
