Hello everyone. I am a front-end web developer in Canton, Ohio USA. I'm looking to throw together a GIMX for my XB1. I've already got most of the hardware I need, all I'm waiting on is the CP2102 I purchased on eBay. For this build I'm planning on using a Raspberry Pi Model B if possible, if not I will give up one of my Pi 3 projects and use that board. For the USB adapter I have found a SainSmart UNO in a box in my house running a ATMega16U2 chip.
This is my first real hardware project as I mostly work on software so I'm hoping I can get this put together rather easily (without damaging any of my components.) My wife is an electrical engineer so I should be able to tap her for help when needed, but overall I would like to try and tackle this one on my own.
Overall I think this should be a pretty fun project and I'm really happy there's a community here to support me.
