Hello i am new to this forum and i just have a few questions. i am trying to get all the parts to make this if it will solve my interference with my headset i posted the problem here http://gimx.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=655
I am from the uk so i would prefer to get all the parts that arnt abroad if possible, i am in no way tech savy so it would be a big help if you could take alook if these are right?
TRIXES USB 2.0 to TTL Serial Converter CP2102
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TRIXES-USB-Seri ... 687&sr=8-1
This looks right but the jumper cables with it look different will they work?
USB 2.0 A to Mini-USB B 5-Pin Retractable Cable

Neewer New USB A Male to A Female Extension Retractable Cable Black
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Neewer-Female-E ... 111&sr=8-1
Now the last part that i have found difficult in finding is the teensy part, the link someone provided here can take upto 3 weeks to come but i found this one that looks right Teensy (ATmega32u4 USB dev board) i just cant see if it has any pins.

i am hoping this will fix the issue i have been having as gimx is really great i mainly play the cod series with it and battlef3 and would be a real shame if i couldnt use it because of my headset
Alternate atmega32u4 board

The first link doesn't work. I guess it is: http://www.amazon.co.uk/TRIXES-USB-Seri ... B004ROOPK6
All these parts seem fine.

Re: GIMX USB Adapter for dummies
It should be compatible.
Compatible hardware is listed on this page: http://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=DIY ... ware_parts
The Atmega32u4 board on ebay is not from a UK store.

Re: GIMX USB Adapter for dummies
just got all the parts putting it together now but the picture doesnt make it clear where i have to put the wire on my teensy could you tell me where i would put the wires . even though the picture shows 2 rows of double pins on each side mine has 2 rows of single pins everything else is the exact same, could you tell me the specific numbers of the pins that i need to attach the wires to.
The reason i think the wires are in the wrong pins is because the tutorial picture is unclear i cant see the pin numbers on the board and the light doesnt turn off.

Your board is not a teensy, but it has the same chip (atmega32u4).
You have to connect the same pins (D2, D3 and GND).

Re: GIMX USB Adapter for dummies
I have connected the wires to d2 d3 and gnd but the LED will not turn off and the program button is greyed out when i try to load the atmega32U4.hex
Edit: On the image that labels the wires 1 2 and 3 can you tell me which wires connect to d2, d3 and gdn.
Edit 2: I thiink it may be some kind of driver problem (although I downloaded and installed what I was told to on the tutorial). In device manager I have a device called "ATm32U4DFU" that has a yellow triangle and also some thing called "unknown device".

You can't use the teensy loader with this board. Use Flip instead.

Re: GIMX USB Adapter for dummies
It's working now. But the replace mouse and replace keyboard options are greyed out so I can't replace them. So my mouse and keyboard don't work
